What makes this posting compliant
- A specific pay range. 15 states currently require a salary or wage range in job postings: California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Vermont, Virginia and Washington. Use the minimum and maximum you genuinely expect to pay.
- Variable pay, described. Several laws also ask for a general description of bonuses, commissions or other compensation. The template includes a line for it.
- Benefits. Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey and Washington also require a general description of benefits. The benefits block covers that; list what you actually offer.
- Where the job is done.Which law applies depends on where the role can be performed. For remote roles, name the states you’ll hire in, because each one’s law can apply.
Common mistake for this role: Posting only on-target earnings (OTE) is a common mistake. Laws generally require the base pay range; add OTE alongside it, not instead of it.
Thresholds, cities and effective dates differ by state; see every state that requires salary ranges or format a range with the pay range builder.
