To promote job and career transparency, New York City employers will soon be required to include minimum and maximum salaries on all job postings for positions performed within the city. The law was passed on January 15, 2022, and will go into effect on May 15th. As this law goes into effect, employers must include a “good faith” salary range for all job opportunities within the city. Furthermore, misuse or neglect to have this range is considered an unlawful discriminatory practice under NYC’s Human Rights Law.
Employers and recruiters should prepare for this change by reviewing their processes, templates, and postings for both internal and external job listings (including promotions and transfers). Additionally, some employers may wish to revisit their compensation determination procedure to guarantee equal pay in the event of a claim.
New York City citizens hope this change will encourage those hesitant to join the workforce into action as it allows for a more upfront and fair process. This law empowers the workforce by sanctioning the rights of the employee and inspiring those unemployed into a more transparent hiring process. As many face the daunting process of employment, this law ensures all employees are compensated equally for their skills. The enactment of this law will hopefully promote employees into jobs and careers that work for them and their needs- no fine print or last-minute changes.
