Recent legislative action across the country suggests that expanding pay transparency requirements will continue to be a major issue for employers to navigate in 2023. Three states—Illinois, Rhode Island, and Washington—recently joined the pay transparency movement by issuing regulations or enacting laws that require some form of pay disclosure to job applicants to promote pay equity and address existing pay gaps. Employers looking to add and retain talent need to pay close attention to the developing patchwork of law on pay transparency. When recruiting in multiple states, whether for in person or remote positions, employers need to be aware of the nuances in newly enacted or amended laws relating to pay transparency.
