New Washington State Guidance a Reminder That More State Pay Transparency Laws Are On The Horizon
Highlights
In anticipation of its Jan. 1, 2023, effective date, the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries recently issued interpretive guidance concerning the amended Washington Equal Pay and Opportunities Act
The act mandates disclosure of compensation ranges in job postings – including remote positions
Washington’s Equal Pay Act is similar to Colorado’s and New York City’s laws and California’s forthcoming law but does not require additional employer record keeping or reporting
Pay disclosure laws are expanding across the country, with New York state likely to enact a law soon and other legislatures poised to tackle the issue in the new year
On November 30, 2022, the state of Washington issued long-awaited guidance document providing further guidance on its amended Equal Pay and Opportunities Act, which is set to go in effect Jan. 1, 2023.
