Pay transparency, supporters say, will prevent employers from offering some job candidates less or more money based on age, gender, race or other factors not related to their skills.
Advocates believe the change also could help underpaid workers realize they make less than people doing the same job.
A similar pay transparency ordinance has been in effect in New York City since 2022.
There’s a demand from workers to know of the pay range,” said Da Hae Kim, a state policy senior counsel at the National Women's Law Center.
State Senator Jessica Ramos, a Democrat representing parts of Queens, said the law is a win for labor rights groups.
