IL HB4858

Amends the Equal Pay Act of 2003 to require employers with 15 or more employees to include both "base pay scale" and "variable pay scale" as separate ranges in job postings, replacing the current requirement to list "pay scale and benefits"

Defines "base pay scale" as the wage or salary, or wage/salary range, for a position

Defines "variable pay scale" as a range of benefits and other compensation including bonuses, stock options, equities, commissions, or other incentives the employer reasonably expects to offer

Requires third parties posting jobs on behalf of employers to include both base and variable pay scales, with liability for failure to do so unless the employer did not provide the information
