The Biden administration has announced a pair of executive orders, coupled with regulatory actions, aimed at increasing pay transparency and advancing pay equity for federal government workers and employees of federal contractors.
Employers in the District of Columbia will soon be required to include pay information in job postings unless Congress votes to disapprove the pay transparency bill within the 30-day congressional review period.
At least eight states are currently considering legislative proposals that would require employers to disclose pay ranges, restrict employers from inquiring about prior salary history, or strengthen existing equal pay laws.
