Bill > LD54

This bill requires employers with 10 or more employees to provide increased transparency around compensation by mandating that job postings include the prospective pay range for each advertised position. The bill defines "range of pay" broadly, allowing employers to reference pay scales, previously determined wage ranges, actual wages for equivalent positions, or budgeted amounts. Additionally, employers must disclose the pay range for a specific position upon an employee's request. The legislation also mandates that employers maintain detailed records of each employee's job positions and pay history, not only throughout the employee's tenure but also for three years after their employment ends. This requirement aims to promote wage transparency and potentially help address pay equity by ensuring that employers have comprehensive documentation of compensation practices. The bill applies specifically to employers in the state of Maine and seeks to provide more information to both job seekers and current employees about potential and actual compensation ranges.
