Bill > A4683

Introduced Session

This bill requires employers to make reasonable efforts to announce, post, or otherwise make known opportunities for promotion that are advertised internally within the employer or externally on internet-based advertisements, postings, printed flyers, or other similar advertisements to all current employees in the affected department or departments of the employer's business prior to making a promotion decision. The bill requires employers to disclose in each posting for new jobs and transfer opportunities that are advertised by the employer either externally or internally the hourly wage or salary, or a range of the hourly wage or salary, and (1) any supplemental compensation for which the position is eligible; (2) a description of the benefits provided for the position, including, but not limited to, paid and unpaid leave, health care plans, and dental plans; and (3) any retirement plans offered through the employer. An employer's failure to comply with the bill's provisions in connection with a particular promotional opportunity will be considered one violation for all listings of that promotion, even if that promotion is listed on multiple forums. An employer's failure to comply with the bill's provisions in connection with a particular job opening or transfer opportunity will be considered one violation regardless of the number of postings that list, or forums that advertise, that job opening or transfer opportunity, as appropriate. The Commissioner of Labor and Workforce Development may enforce the provisions of the bill in a summary proceeding, and an employer who violates the bill will be subject to a civil penalty in an amount not to exceed $300 for the first violation, and $600 for each subsequent violation.
