01What Is the Pay Transparency Compliance Checklist?

The Pay Transparency Compliance Checklist helps you meet the growing set of laws requiring employers to disclose pay information. It covers posting salary ranges in job ads, sharing ranges with candidates and employees on request, restrictions on asking about salary history, and related recordkeeping. Requirements differ sharply by state and city, so the checklist helps you match your practices to each jurisdiction where you hire.

02Why Use a Pay Transparency Compliance Checklist

Pay transparency rules have spread quickly and carry penalties for noncompliance, including fines per violation. They also intersect with pay equity, since posting ranges can expose internal inconsistencies. A checklist helps you standardize job postings, train recruiters on what they can and cannot ask, and confirm your salary ranges are defensible, reducing both legal risk and the trust damage that comes from inconsistent pay practices.

03How to Use This Pay Transparency Compliance Checklist

Map where your candidates and employees are located, since rules follow the work location and sometimes the posting's reach. Confirm job ads include compliant ranges, remove salary history questions where banned, and prepare processes for range requests. Review your ranges for equity before publishing them widely. Train hiring managers and recruiters, and keep documentation of your ranges and the reasoning behind them.
