Did you know companies are required by law to disclose salary ranges for job postings?

Colorado, Nevada, Connecticut, California, Washington and Maryland REQUIRED (soon, New York will be added to the list) companies by law to disclose salary ranges for job postings.

Use this to your advantage to see if you’re underpaid and also save time from applying for work that doesn’t meet your pay demands!

Very infrequently shopping the Greater Denver Area, Colorado Springs and in-between in Colorado these days.

The key words are "salary" and "job". Used together they likely connote employee status is being offered. To know for sure, those laws probably have a "definitions" section that would tell the reader what offers are covered by each law.

Can’t speak on the other states, but Colorado provided some guidance to make it easier to understand the details, what it means, etc.

Thanks for the link. I looked at the Colorado guidance out of curiosity. It is specifically for employees. It does not apply to contractors like mystery shoppers. But, it is definitely a good idea (IMOH) for employers to post meaningful pay ranges for prospective employees.

I think all government employees are listed by job title and pay range, if not by name and particulars. This is part of transparency. I think my job is listed by title and pay but no one at my little level is named. (I work at a company that is situated at/somehow affiliated with a land grant university.) Higher ups, such as the president and battery of VP's, deans, and other important people, are listed by name and salary details.

I wouldn’t job to that conclusion. If anything, it’s a bargaining chip to state what salary you want when asked.

The recent job I jumped to last month posted a range that spanned $40k between the lowest to highest.

I ended up being offered $5k short of the high end of the job posting.
