"Salary Transparency Laws Prompt Companies to Lower Advertised Pay, Survey Reveals"

As pay transparency laws requiring employers to disclose salary ranges in job postings take effect, a report from ZipRecruiter reveals that the growth of advertised wages for new hires is slowing down and, in some cases, even reversing, with companies now posting lower pay ranges. Some employers are leaving jobs unfilled as candidates demand higher pay than what the company is willing to offer. Additionally, about 30% to 40% of employers are not complying with pay transparency laws, leading to complaints and lawsuits. However, some companies are voluntarily posting pay information even in states without a requirement. The rise of remote work has made it challenging for employers to adjust postings to comply with varying state and local requirements.

The Rise of Pay Transparency: Key Takeaways.

Employers in the US are increasingly posting salary ranges for job openings, even in states where it’s not required by law, due to new legislation in several states and a tight labor market. The number of US job postings that include salary information more than doubled between February 2020 and February 2023. Advocates say it benefits women and people of color, who statistically fare less well in hiring negotiations. Major companies including Microsoft, CitiGroup, and Google have publicly committed to posting salary ranges for all jobs across the country, rather than only in the states where it’s legally required.

The Divide: Job Posting Laws and Fair Pay Disputes.

Pay transparency laws requiring employers to disclose salary ranges in job postings are causing rifts between employees and employers over fair pay. Many employees are finding out that the listing is for higher than what they're currently being paid, leading to confrontations with their bosses. Rising inflation and labor shortages have required organizations to increase starting salaries to remain competitive, but many employees who find out that newly-hired peers earn more are quick to look for new jobs themselves, creating a vicious cycle of high turnover and unfilled positions. However, pay transparency is heavily dependent on the presence of pay transparency, as it provides job seekers with more control during negotiations and holds employers accountable for any pay discrepancies that exist.
