New York City Employers Are Now Required To Disclose Salary Ranges

New York City employers now must disclose salary ranges for every job posting, promotion and transfer opportunity.

Anyone looking for a job in New York City will now know exactly how much money they could make due to a new salary transparency law in effect for employers there.

"Anytime they advertise for a job — and that could be on the internet, in a newspaper, in a flier, internally for a transfer or promotion — that employer must list the salary range or the hourly rate range," said Mark Beckman, employment law attorney.

Beckman says the measure is an effort to address pay disparities for women and people of color.
