Changes are coming to New York’s salary transparency in job advertisements following Governor Kathy Hochul’s signing of the Pay Transparency Law in late 2022. Codified at New York Labor Law Section 194-b, and having taken effect on Sept. 17, 2023, the new law requires all job postings in New York to include a salary or salary range for the position.

The new law mostly tracked the preexisting New York City salary transparency law, requiring employers to also include a good faith pay range in all job advertisements. However, prior to its signing, there were amendments to the proposed law regarding remote workers who work in New York State. Additionally, there are a few other areas that employers should be aware of when it comes to this new law concerning actually coming up with the salary range or job description.
