U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris on Monday released a plan as part of her 2020 presidential bid that would require employers to show they are not paying women less than men for similar work, and would fine those that are, a senior campaign official said.
The California Democrat’s plan would change how challenges to pay discrimination are administered by placing the burden on companies rather than employees, who often face costly lawsuits in taking on their employers, the official said.
Harris’ plan would require large companies to report — among other information — the overall pay and total compensation gap that exists between men and women, and to get an “Equal Pay Certification” from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which would post compliance reports on its website.
To get certified, companies would have to align their pay policies with best practices, including allowing employees to discuss their pay and banning the practice of asking potential hires about prior salary history.
Businesses that don’t get the EEOC certification would be fined 1% of their average daily profits during the last fiscal year for every 1% wage gap. Those fines would help fund family and medical leave, which Harris’ campaign said was a significant driver of the pay gap, calling it a “wage penalty” that women pay when caring for a new child or a sick parent.

“Generally, it is difficult for individual employees to even know when there’s been a wage gap, even know when they’ve been discriminated against,” said Vasu Reddy, senior policy counsel for workplace programs at the National Partnership for Women & Families (NPWF). “That information is not freely available and many companies have secrecy policies in place that punish workers or prohibit them from discussing their pay with their coworkers.”
Equal Pay in California
“Taking some of the burden off of employees means that you are able to proactively prevent those gaps as opposed to relying on employees who may or may not have all the information, who may or may not have the resources to pursue a claim, who may be afraid of retaliation to pursue a claim — and should hopefully make it easier for those gaps to get revealed,” she added.
Not all are sold on Harris’ plan: Paul Grossman, general counsel for the California Employment Law Council, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit made up of about 70 of the state’s largest employers, said “it’s just not that simplistic.”
“Raw data on jobs rarely has relevance to whether or not there is pay discrimination,” said Grossman, co-author of “Employment Discrimination Law,” noting that multiple objective and subjective factors go into determining pay. “When you drill down, sometimes there is discrimination and sometimes there isn’t.”
“All of our members share the Senator’s commitment” to equal pay, he added. “The proposal is just too simplistic and would lead to conclusions that are inaccurate.”
Another critic, Anastasia Boden, a Sacramento-based lawyer with the conservative leaning Pacific Legal Foundation, said Harris’ plan is “misguided” and would place a “hefty” burden on businesses.
“It’s going to drive up the cost of doing business, largely as a boon to plaintiffs’ lawyers,” Boden said. “Businesses are going to balk at it because it may paint them in a light that’s not fair.”
In California, women are paid from $0.41 to $0.80 for every $1 paid to a white man — a wide range that varies by race — despite efforts by lawmakers to bridge that gap, including a series of recent amendments to the state’s Equal Pay Act. The total annual wage losses for California women amount to more than $87 billion a year, according to the NPWF.
Harris is one of more than 20 people running for the Democratic nomination for president. Other candidates have made the gender pay gap a part of their campaign, including Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, as well as businessman Andrew Yang and motivational speaker Marianne Williamson.
Some of Harris’ proposals also fit into efforts already being made by equal-pay advocates. That includes the Paycheck Fairness Act, introduced into the U.S. Senate this year (and co-sponsored by Harris and a number of other presidential candidates, including Sens. Cory Booker, Amy Klobuchar, Gillibrand, Sanders and Warren), said Reddy of NPWF. The legislation would authorize the EEOC to collect compensation data and would prohibit asking about salary history.
While Reddy said she hadn’t seen proposals like Harris’ corporate accountability one, she said some states have taken a more preventive approach: Minnesota and New Jersey have laws requiring employers to collect gender wage-gap data, and some states have considered bills requiring any company bidding on a public contract to first obtain an equal pay certificate.
“Transparency about wages is a really important piece of fighting for equal pay because it can help the people who are enforcing equal pay laws identify where the most problematic industries are, where the most problematic job categories might be coming up, and really understand how to target their enforcement,” Reddy said.

This means that hospitals, doctors and health insurers will need to find ways to cut costs to prevent annual per capita spending from exceeding the target.

Leaders say the ALPRs from Atlanta-based Flock Safety are a critical support for investigators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It has already proven an incredible tool for our thinly staffed police department,” Mahan said Tuesday during a press conference in East San José where a new ALPR was being installed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the network of cameras in 2023 alone helped recover $2 million worth of stolen vehicles and led to the arrests of nearly 200 people suspected of crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Acting Police Chief Paul Joseph said the ALPRs have been invaluable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These cameras make a difference by helping to identify and apprehend suspects, curbing criminal activity and providing crime victims with a feeling of closure and justice,” Joseph said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, some privacy advocates and residents say the cameras aren’t actually effective at reducing crime and instead create massive logs about the movements of locals and visitors. They worry about the amount of data police are keeping, the length of time it’s retained, and how it is shared across law enforcement agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Complicated issues like safety deserve really well thought out and focused solutions,” said Nick Hidalgo, a staff attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Installing hundreds of expensive devices that effectively turn San José into a surveillance city is like using a bazooka instead of a fly swatter. It’s expensive, unnecessary, ineffective and does a lot more harm than good.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Flock devices capture not only license plates but also a car’s make and model and other characteristics like customizations or bumper stickers. Flock’s software pings police when a car matching a “hotlist” crosses the path of the cameras, and police can also search the data logs for specific cars and plates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials say the cameras do not have facial recognition features, nor do they photograph inside a car. City officials said they are proud of the data privacy protections San José follows and noted that the data, under state law requirements, is only shared with other California law enforcement agencies and is prohibited from being used for immigration enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Danny Garza, a 65-year resident of East San José’s Plata Arroyo neighborhood, trusted the police to handle the information securely and said he and others have requested cameras be put up in the area for years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re asking that these license plate readers help protect layer upon layer of community gains,” Garza said. “All we’re interested in is community safety. We’ve had shootings in the past, and they’ve gotten away. Nobody knows where they went.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though police leaders say the technology is effective and has helped capture people suspected of car theft, rape, and homicide, among other crimes, the department declined to use a specific metric to measure the success of the program over time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11984099\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11984099\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08.jpg\" alt=\"A white middle aged man speaks into microphones wearing a blue suit and a white collared shirt with no tie.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San José Mayor Matt Mahan during a press conference in East San José where a new ALPR was being installed on Tuesday, April 23, 2024. \u003ccite>(Joseph Geha/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“We like to measure our success in terms of usefulness in our pursuit of public safety by solving and reducing crime,” Sgt.

Gavin Newsom, a supporter of the law, did not respond to a request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pam Lee, an attorney with Aleshire & Wynder, who represented the plaintiffs in the case, said the ruling came as a surprise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We knew that the stakes were high, but we also knew that it was an uphill battle,” Lee said. “So many of the [housing] laws that have been challenged — in particular, cases against charter cities — have just not been met with a favorable fate.”[aside label=\"more housing coverage\" tag=\"affordable-housing\"]Charter cities have special privileges under the state Constitution, Lee said, including the right to enact their own laws. When the state Legislature wants its laws to apply to those charter cities, Lee said lawmakers have to demonstrate the law addresses a statewide concern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his decision, Judge Curtis Kin said the Legislature didn’t do that in this case. Specifically, SB 9 says its purpose is to “ensure access to affordable housing.” Lee and her colleagues argued that “affordable housing” means something very specific: below-market-rate, deed-restricted housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the law doesn’t specifically require property owners to develop that kind of housing, the law is unconstitutional, Kin ruled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elmendorf called that interpretation “kind of silly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By allowing property owners to split their lots and build up to two homes on each new one, the law promotes the construction of homes that are smaller and therefore relatively more affordable, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Legislature is not a house full of idiots,” Elmendorf said, adding the law itself clearly states the Legislature’s intent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, state Sen. Toni Atkins (D-San Diego), who authored SB 9, called the judge’s ruling “sadly misguided” and vowed to “remedy any loopholes biased city governments might utilize” to block new housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The assertion by NIMBY city governments that SB 9 is only about subsidized housing is a stretch at best,” said Atkins, who recently stepped down as Senate President Pro Tempore. “The goal of SB 9 has always been to increase equity and accessibility in our neighborhoods while growing our housing supply and production across the state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since it went into effect in 2022, however, the law has produced little in the way of new lots or housing. A \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11980785/these-california-companies-want-to-buy-your-backyard-and-build-a-house\">KQED survey\u003c/a> of 16 cities of varying sizes found that between 2022 and 2023, the cities collectively approved 75 lot-split applications and 112 applications for new units under the law.
