Important Update for Employers

Pay Transparency is now the law in New Jersey! The New Jersey pay and benefits transparency law went into effect June 1, 2025.

The new law changes job posting requirements for most employers in New Jersey:

  • Employers will now have to provide information about the pay, benefits, and other compensation programs that they are offering in their postings for new jobs and transfer opportunities.
  • Employers must make reasonable efforts to ensure all current employees in affected departments are aware of promotional opportunities.
  • The law covers job postings in any format, including job search websites, print advertisements, company newsletters, emails, social media, and more.

Pay Transparency helps employers attract, recruit, and retain the talent they rely on.
