So I saw this little gem on a job posting. I’m curious, 1) is this legal based on how it’s phrased and 2) what regulation would prevent pay disclosure like this?
However, due to regulatory requirements, we are only able to consider candidates who reside in U.S. states that do not currently mandate salary disclosure in job postings
This includes, but is not limited to: Texas, Florida, Missouri, Arizona, Indiana, North Carolina, and Wisconsin.
Candidates residing in California, Colorado, New York Illinois, Washington, or other states with active pay transparency laws will not be considered at this time
The phrasing makes it sound like there’s a regulation preventing disclosure so they can’t post in states where a law says otherwise.
Yeah, they’re intentionally being misleading about it. The regulation is that those states require disclosure, and they don’t want to comply
That is code for we will pay as little as possible to give execs more bonus for keeping employee costs down .
