As we have reported previously, 2024 saw a slew of states adopt new pay transparency laws. Several of those laws go into effect in 2025. They include new laws in Illinois and Minnesota (both effective January 1), Vermont (effective July 1), and Massachusetts (effective July 31).
While each of the new laws requires pay transparency in job postings, they vary in terms of what employers are required to disclose (e.g., just pay ranges, or pay ranges plus benefits) and to whom (e.g., just to job applicants in postings, or to job applicants and current employees).
Below we provide an overview of each of these new laws’ unique requirements.
