New York City employers are now required to post salary ranges on job listings

New York City employers are now required to include salary ranges in job postings in a law that went into effect on Tuesday.

Written advertisements for a job, promotion or transfer opportunity that are “publicized to a pool of potential applicants” are covered, including internal bulletin boards, internet and newspaper ads and printed flyers that are handed out at job fairs, according to the legislation.

Employers are required to post the minimum and maximum amounts they are willing to pay “the employer honestly believes at the time they are listing the job advertisement that they are willing to pay the successful applicant(s),” the memo says.
