Earlier this month, a new pay transparency law took effect in New York City requiring companies to include a salary range on all job listings. One of the main goals of this law is to close the racial and gender wage gaps: women earn 82 cents for every dollar earned by a man and the gap typically widens for women of color.
Although there are a lot of positives to the new law, putting it into practice has not been a seamless process. The law states businesses must post a “good faith salary range” and some are taking advantage of the vague language. In response, some companies posted excessively broad ranges spanning more than $100,000. Citigroup had several jobs posted with a range of $0 to $2 million, which they later claimed was a computer error and later adjusted the listings.
Despite some of the implementation challenges, similar pay transparency laws are gathering steam with California enacting legislation in 2023 and companies with New York offices such as, Macy’s and Google, have started to post salary ranges for job postings across the country.
