All companies hiring on work that can be performed in NY will soon need to advertise the job's compensation / wages. 

A10477 has passed both houses of the NYS Congress and once signed by the Governor, it will go into effect 270 days later. 

Interestingly, the law is very broadly written where it applies to advertising "a job, promotion, or transfer opportunity that can or will be performed, at least in part, in the state of New York." Notice the word can in there. Theoretically, this will make all remote work opportunities around the world be subject to this law. 

The law, Labor Law 194-b, will require disclosure of both a job description and a range of compensation. Plus, employers will be required to keep records to prove compliance and there are big penalties for violations.

On March 29, 2022, we blogged about the new NYC Salary Transparency in Job Advertisements Law, which has just been updated and amended on April 28, 2022. 

Now, the effective date is moved to November 1, 2022 and most importantly, there is now an ability for an employer to cure their violation, without penalty, if accomplished within 30 days of service of a copy of the applicable complaint pursuant to section 8-109.
