Bill > SB373

This bill introduces new regulations for wage transparency in Missouri, requiring employers to disclose wage ranges to prospective employees and current employees seeking promotions or transfers. Specifically, employers must provide a wage range upon request from a job applicant before or at the time of making a compensation offer, and to current employees who have completed an interview or been offered a promotion and request salary information. A "wage range" is defined broadly to include anticipated wages, pay scales, existing wages for comparable positions, or budgeted amounts for a role. The bill allows employers to ask job candidates about their salary expectations but prohibits them from failing to provide wage range information. Employers who violate these requirements can be fined between $1,000 and $5,000. The law defines "employer" expansively to include various types of organizations using paid employees, and "wages" as compensation calculated through different methods like hourly, task-based, or commission rates.
