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 the Equal Pay Law to require employers with 15 or more employees to provide pay ranges in specific circumstances. Employers must disclose pay ranges to job applicants in job postings and to internal candidates being considered for transfers or promotions. If no pay range exists, employers must provide the minimum wage or salary for the position. Additionally, upon hiring an employee and annually thereafter, employers must provide employees with written documentation of the pay range for their job title and for substantially similar positions, which are defined by comparing the skill, effort, responsibility, and working conditions required. The goal of this legislation appears to be increasing wage transparency and helping employees better understand potential compensation. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, giving employers time to prepare for the new requirements.
