Author: ADP Admin/Tuesday, January 7, 2025/Categories: Bulletin News

Many new and/or expanded employment laws and regulations have been adopted over the last year, affecting the way employers hire, pay, treat and provide benefits to their employees. One of the trends among these changes is states and local jurisdictions requiring greater pay transparency. Here is a closer look at this trend.


Pay transparency rules


Many states and local jurisdictions have enacted legislation related to pay transparency. For example, several states and local jurisdictions now require private sector employers to disclose the pay range for a position to an applicant or employee. Here are some examples of laws that require such disclosures.
