Employers must disclose in writing or electronically the compensation or range of compensation, job description (if it exists), and general description of benefits for any publicly or internally posted employment opportunity.

Current employees may request the compensation range and job description for their position at hire and upon request, but no more than once per year.

Employers are prohibited from refusing to interview, hire, promote, or otherwise retaliating against applicants or employees for exercising rights under this section.

Employers who violate this section are subject to civil penalties under labor law section 218, and aggrieved persons may file complaints with the commissioner for investigation and appropriate remedies.

The Department of Labor must conduct a public awareness campaign to inform employers of these requirements, and employers must maintain records of compensation ranges and job descriptions for each position.
