Navigating Pay Transparency in Job Postings

Pay transparency is becoming an increasingly important consideration for employers, but navigating a growing patchwork of state requirements can be challenging.

In a recent American City Business Journals article, Vanessa Matsis-McCready, Associate General Counsel and Vice President of Human Resources at Engage PEO, discusses the expanding landscape of pay-transparency laws and what businesses need to know as disclosure requirements continue to evolve.

Vanessa offers practical guidance for employers navigating these requirements, including reevaluating existing compensation when pay disparities arise and clearly communicating the skills and responsibilities that may justify differences in pay. She also emphasizes the importance of working closely with HR to maintain consistency and ensure compensation aligns with job roles and overall offerings.

A proactive approach to compliance can also help businesses reduce legal exposure as pay-transparency requirements continue to expand.
