Bill > LD941

This bill requires employers with 10 or more employees to include a wage range in any job posting for positions within the state, with the wage range reflecting the employer's good faith estimate of what they expect to pay for that position at the time of posting. The bill specifies that the posted wage range is advisory and not legally binding, meaning employers can pay outside the stated range based on legitimate factors like market conditions, employee experience, or education level. The Maine Department of Labor will be responsible for enforcing this requirement, and employers who violate the law can be subject to a penalty of up to $500. The key purpose of the bill appears to be promoting wage transparency by requiring employers to provide upfront information about potential compensation, which can help job seekers better understand salary expectations and potentially reduce wage disparities.
