A bill has been approved in New York City that provides that it is an unlawful discriminatory practice for an employer of four or more people or employment agencies to advertise for a job without identifying the minimum and maximum salary for that position. The requirement applies to internal job postings with an organization, as well as to opportunities for promotions or transfers within a company. In addition, the bill provides that in determining the minimum and maximum salaries the employer must use good faith to determine, at the time of the job posting, what it would pay for the advertised job, promotion or job opportunity. The purpose of the law is to further New York City’s effort at achieving pay equity.
