Bill Summary
Relative to salary range transparency by certain employers. Labor and Workforce Development.
AI Summary
This bill requires certain employers in Massachusetts to disclose the pay range for a particular employment position within the advertising or posting of the position, provide the pay range to an employee offered a promotion or transfer, and provide the pay range to an employee or applicant upon request. The bill defines a "covered employer" as any employer, public or private, that employs 15 or more employees in Massachusetts, and "pay range" as the annual salary range, hourly wage range, or other compensation that the employer reasonably and in good faith expects to pay for such position. The bill also prohibits employers from retaliating or discriminating against employees or applicants who oppose unlawful practices or participate in proceedings related to this law. The Attorney General is responsible for enforcing the law and can obtain injunctive or declaratory relief, and impose fines for violations.
