Massachusetts has become the latest state to require covered employers to post salary ranges in their job listings. H.4890, signed into law by Governor Healey on July 31, 2024, will require employers with 25 or more employees in Massachusetts to disclose pay ranges in job postings and provide a pay range to employees to whom they offer a transfer or promotion. The pay range requirements will take effect July 31, 2025.
In addition, beginning February 1, 2025, the law will require employers with 100 or more employees in the state that are subject to federal EEO-1 filing requirements to submit their most recent EEO-1 reports to the state each year.
With this legislation, Massachusetts joins other states that have enacted pay transparency legislation—including California, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Vermont, and Washington state.
