The New York City Council has enacted a law (Int. No. 1208-B) which requires New York City employers to include the minimum and maximum starting salary for advertised jobs, promotions or transfer opportunities. The law takes effect on May 15, 2022.

The Details:

Under the amended New York City Human Rights Law, New York City employers with four or more employees (including independent contractors) must disclose a salary range for an advertised job, promotion or transfer opportunity starting May 15, 2022. The range must be from the lowest to the highest salary that an employer in good faith believes it would pay at the time of the posting.

Next Steps:

New York City employers should review their application forms, positions, policies and practices, and train HR personnel and supervisors to ensure compliance by May 15, 2022. Please contact your dedicated service professional with any questions.
