New law mandates salary ranges be included in job ads

The Daily Freeman reports that as of Sept. 17 New York employers must include pay rates in job ads. The new law applies to employers with at least four workers advertising jobs externally to the public or internally to workers interested in a promotion or transfer. New York City has had a similar law since 2022. Da Hae Kim, a state policy senior counsel at the National Women’s Law Center, said, “There is a trend, not just in legislatures but among workers, to know how much they can expect going into a job. There’s a demand from workers to know of the pay range." Frank Kerbein, director of human resources at the New York Business Council, said few employers knew about the new state law, and he predicted there would be “a lot of unintentional noncompliance.” Read more about this story in the Daily Freeman.
