"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.
