On Jan. 15, 2022, New York City enacted 2022 N.Y.C. Local Law No. 32, often referred to as the salary disclosure or “pay transparency” law. This new law amends the New York City Human Rights Law (NYCHRL) to require that employers include in job listings the “minimum and maximum salary” for the position.

Under this new law, New York City joins a number of jurisdictions that have enacted (California, Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, Nevada, Cincinnati (Ohio), Toledo (Ohio), Rhode Island and Washington) or proposed (Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and South Carolina) pay disclosure laws. Accordingly, New York City builds upon its prior equal pay initiatives, such as the City’s 2017 law restricting salary history inquiries of job applicants. Although other jurisdictions with pay disclosure laws generally limit the required disclosures to informing actual applicants for job openings of minimum and maximum salaries, New York City adopted a broader rule and joins Colorado in requiring pay disclosures in public job postings.
