In the past few years, a growing number of states have put laws on their books requiring employers to disclose pay ranges for open positions — either in their job postings or during the hiring process.
Today, Washington, D.C., and 13 states have pay transparency laws in place: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington. Most are already in effect, but the laws in four of those states (Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Vermont) won't take effect until next year.
A 14th state — New Jersey — passed pay transparency legislation this fall. If Governor Phil Murphy decides to sign it into law, it would go into effect seven months later.
