Michael Schulman spoke to Law360 about New York City’s new law mandating salary ranges be included in job advertisements for businesses with at least four employees.
According to Michael, employers “have been contending with the need to comply with and the impact of the new law” since it was initially passed, and that one question they have been struggling to answer is which job posting must comply with the new requirements, “particularly given the reality of telework”
“The law applies to advertisements for positions that would be performed in New York City,” Michael said. “However, determining whether a position will be performed in New York City is particularly complicated given the recent proliferation of remote work and the tight labor market. Many employers are willing to fill a particular position with talent and don’t feel strongly about the location of the candidates.”
He added that some employers may try to “avoid questions about whether they need to comply with the salary transparency law” altogether by “clarifying that certain advertised positions will not be performed within New York City,” while other companies may eschew job postings or advertisements altogether as part of their recruitment efforts and instead lean on recruiters or internal talent departments to target candidates.
