New York Law Requiring Employers to Post Pay Rates on Job Listings Takes Effect

The law is intended to help address pay inequity and discriminatory wage-setting and hiring practices, according to its proponents.

Employers in New York have to post the pay rates for new job listings, as a new statewide salary transparency law has gone into effect.

As of Sept. 17, all employers with at least four workers are required to disclose “good faith” salary ranges for any job advertised internally or externally to the public.
