As part of their ongoing efforts towards pay equity, the New York State Department of Labor has proposed new regulations regarding pay transparency. These proposed regulations, released on September 13, 2023, aim to add more clarity to the stipulation requiring employers to state the pay range in job postings.
The new motion is part of a broader strategy to improve equity in the workplace and facilitate an environment that supports fair remuneration amongst all employees. This initiative might lead to job seekers making more informed decisions about where to apply, and hence, greater fairness in the recruitment process.
To ensure the proposed regulations appropriately address the issue at hand and not introduce an undue burden on businesses, the NY DOL is welcoming public commentary. They want to hear from stakeholders to fine-tune the proposal and will be accepting feedback until November 12, 2023.
If you’re an interested party—a stakeholder in a large corporation, a legal professional specialized in labor law, or anyone who’d like to see more transparency in wages—you have an opportunity to influence the regulatory atmosphere around pay transparency.
