Bill Summary

Amending the act of December 17, 1959 (P.L.1913, No.694), entitled "An act prohibiting discrimination in rate of pay because of sex; conferring powers and imposing duties on the Department of Labor and Industry; and prescribing penalties," providing for pay ranges.

AI Summary

This bill amends Pennsylvania's Equal Pay Law to require employers with 15 or more employees to provide pay ranges in several specific contexts. Employers must disclose pay ranges and the factors used to determine those ranges when posting a job externally, offering an internal transfer or promotion, and when hiring an employee. If no pay range exists, the employer must provide the minimum wage or salary for the position. Additionally, employers must provide employees with a written document annually that shows the pay range for their current job title and for substantially similar positions, considering factors like skill, effort, responsibility, and working conditions. The bill aims to increase transparency in compensation by mandating that employers proactively share pay information with both potential and current employees. The new provisions will take effect 60 days after the bill is signed into law, giving employers time to adjust their hiring and compensation practices to comply with the new requirements.
