A bill working its way through the Massachusetts Legislature
could soon require employers to include salary ranges in their job
postings. On September 25, 2023, the Joint Committee on Labor and
Workforce Development referred the draft bill to the House
Committee on Ways and Means.
The bill, currently numbered as H.4100, would require employers with 25 or more
employees in Massachusetts to include the annual salary range or
hourly wage range they expect to pay when advertising job openings
and when offering a promotion or transfer to a new position with
different job responsibilities. The bill would also require
employers to provide the pay range for a particular position to an
employee working in or applying for that position upon request. The
bill would create wage data reporting requirements for employers
with (a) more than 100 full-time Massachusetts employees and (b)
EEO-1, EEO-3, EEO-4, or EEO-5 filing requirements. The bill would
not require employers to share
