US job listings lack mandatory pay range disclosure

This check looks at job listings for US-based roles and checks for a salary range or compensation band alongside them. This site advertises roles in US states that require pay-range disclosure, but no salary range was found in the listing content. 17 US states plus Washington DC now require pay ranges in job postings as of 2026, with fines reaching $250,000 per violation in New York City and $100 to $10,000 per violation in California. Listings without a range also lose out with candidates who now expect to see one before they'll apply. Your HR team should add salary range disclosures to every US job listing, prioritising states where it's legally required first. This is roughly three hours of work to update current listings, and worth building into your standard process for any new one you post.
