New state law requires employers to give pay range in job postings
EVERETT — Imagine not knowing the price of a gallon of milk until you reach the check stand, or learning that another customer paid $3 while you were charged $5 for the same gallon.
Now think about applying for a job without knowing the pay scale or whether you’ll earn as much as other applicants with similar qualifications.
Sound familiar?
A new state law aimed at giving job seekers a clearer picture of how they’ll be compensated went into effect Jan. 1.
Under the Equal Pay and Opportunity Act, employers with 15 or more employees must provide a salary range or pay scale in job postings, along with a general description of benefits and other compensation.
