This bill mandates that employers in Iowa who employ 15 or more individuals must include the pay scale information in any communication related to job offerings. Specifically, when an employer announces, posts, or publishes an advertisement or solicitation for employment, they are required to disclose the salary or hourly wage range they reasonably expect to pay for the position directly within the communication. This requirement also extends to situations where employers engage third parties to disseminate such job postings, ensuring compliance with the pay scale disclosure.

Additionally, the bill establishes civil penalties for employers who fail to adhere to these requirements, with fines ranging from $100 to $10,000 per violation. The enforcement of this legislation falls under the jurisdiction of the director of the department of inspections, appeals, and licensing, who is responsible for administering the law and collecting penalties. The bill also includes provisions for the director to provide written notice to employers prior to imposing penalties and allows for judicial review of any determinations made by the director.
