SF 502: Requiring certain employers to include pay scale information in communications offering employment, and providing penalties

Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on October 2, 2026. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

This bill requires an employer that employs or more employees and that announces, posts, publishes, or otherwise makes known an advertisement, solicitation, or other communication offering employment or seeking applicants for employment to include in the communication the pay scale for each position for which employment is offered or for which applicants are sought. The pay scale must be included in the communication itself; a reference to another location where the pay scale can be found is not sufficient.
