Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont recently signed Public Act 21-30, entitled "An Act Concerning the Disclosure of Salary Range for a Vacant Position" (the "Act"), which goes into effect on Oct. 1.

The act prohibits employers from failing or refusing to provide an applicant for employment or current employee with the wage range for that person's position under certain circumstances, and also amends Connecticut's equal pay law to prohibit paying an employee less than what the employer pays an employee of the opposite sex for comparable work, whereas the law used to prohibit only unequal pay for equal work.
