Every employee gets a seat — priced per employee in HR Operations, quoted with this template ready.

What's inside this template

Coverage

  • Employers with 4+ employees must include a good-faith salary range or hourly pay rate on every advertisement for a job, promotion, or transfer that may be performed in New York State.

Job Description

  • If a job description exists for the role, it must be included in the advertisement (or a statement that one is available).

Recordkeeping

  • Maintain history of compensation ranges and job descriptions for each role. Records subject to NYS DOL inspection.

Anti-Retaliation

  • It is unlawful to retaliate against an employee or applicant for inquiring about, discussing, or asking for the pay range. This is consistent with NY Labor Law §194-c (pay-secrecy prohibition).
