SB 488

This bill requires all job postings made by employers or third parties on behalf of employers to include the minimum and maximum salary or hourly pay for the job based on the employer’s good faith estimate and any other benefits available for the position, such as health insurance and retirement benefits.

The bill also provides that employers and third parties that post jobs on behalf of employers are required to retain records of listings for job vacancies and employment opportunities, including information regarding wages, salary, and other benefits, for at least two years after the vacancy or employment opportunity is filled.

The bill provides that an employer with fewer than 50 employees who violates a requirement under the bill shall forfeit $300 for a second violation and $600 for a third or subsequent violation, and an employer with 50 or more employees who violates a requirement under the bill shall forfeit $1,000 for a second violation and $2,000 for a third or subsequent violation. Under the bill, third parties that are required to comply with the provisions of the bill are subject to the same penalties as an employer. Finally, under the bill each failure to comply with a duty required under the bill is a separate violation.
