The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6517, seeks to amend section 31-40z of the general statutes to enhance salary transparency in the hiring process. Specifically, the bill mandates that employers disclose salary ranges in both public and internal job postings. This change aims to provide potential applicants with clearer information regarding compensation, thereby promoting fairness and equity in the job market.
The bill introduces new legal language that requires the disclosure of salary ranges, while it does not specify any deletions from the current law. The intent behind this legislation is to improve transparency for job seekers and to ensure that salary information is readily available, which could help in reducing wage disparities and fostering a more equitable workplace environment.
