New York State Amends Its Pay Transparency Law

On March 3, 2023, New York State Governor Kathy Hochul signed a bill which amends New York State's pay transparency law (New York Labor Law Section 194-b). The amended law takes effect on September 17, 2023. Before the amendments, the law required employers with four or more employees, employment agencies, employees, or their agents to disclose the compensation or range of compensation to job applicants and employees for advertised positions, promotions, or transfer opportunities that "can or will be performed, at least in part, in the state of New York." It also required them to include a job description in the posting, if one exists. Our previous Schnader Client Alert on the original law can be found here.
