The California Civil Rights Department (CRD) has published preliminary versions of its pay data reporting templates for Reporting Year 2025 as a precursor to the wider collection of pay data reporting resources scheduled for release in February 2026.
The 2025 preliminary templates are a simplified version of the operative templates that will be required for the 2025 reporting cycle and are intended to help filers become familiar with the expected format and data fields for Reporting Year 2025. A companion FAQ document was also published to provide answers to frequently asked questions on 2025 preliminary templates.
It is important to note that the 2025 preliminary templates are subject to change and are intended for planning purposes only. They should not be filed with CRD.
