AK SB39

Employers must include compensation information (salary or salary range) in all job advertisements and employment solicitations.

Employers are prohibited from asking applicants about previous compensation, preventing employees from discussing wages, or retaliating against employees who disclose compensation information.

Employees may file civil lawsuits against employers for retaliation violations, seeking damages including reinstatement and lost wages within three years of the injury.

Violations of these provisions are subject to fines between $100 and $2,000 per violation, with each day of violation potentially constituting a separate offense.

Employers must post an approved summary of these compensation disclosure requirements in a conspicuous location at the workplace, and the superior court has jurisdiction over related employee claims.
