The bill amends RCW 49.58.110 to enhance the requirements for employers regarding wage and salary disclosures in job postings. It mandates that employers disclose the wage scale or salary range and a general description of benefits for each job opening. Additionally, it stipulates that upon an employee's request for an internal transfer or promotion, the employer must provide the wage scale for the new position. The provisions apply to employers with 15 or more employees and outline the rights of job applicants and employees to seek remedies for violations.

Significantly, the bill introduces a process for individuals to notify employers of non-compliance with job posting requirements. It allows individuals to provide written notice to employers regarding alleged violations, which must occur before seeking remedies. If the employer corrects the posting within 14 days of receiving the notice, they will not face penalties or damages. This aims to encourage timely corrections and compliance with wage disclosure laws while providing a clear path for employees and applicants to address issues.
