The bill would amend the Fair Labor Standards Act to require employers to disclose the wage or wage range for employment opportunities in public or internal postings. If no posting is available, employers would have to disclose the wage or wage range before discussing compensation and upon an applicant’s request, and disclose it to employees upon hire, at least annually, and upon request. The bill would prohibit retaliation for exercising these rights and establish civil penalties, statutory or actual damages, attorneys’ fees, and injunctive relief.
