Governor Maura T. Healey recently signed into law An Act Relative to Salary Range Transparency (H.4890), which increases equity and transparency in pay by requiring employers to disclose salary ranges and protecting an employee’s right to ask for salary ranges.
The legislation requires public and private employers with 25 or more employees to disclose pay ranges in job postings, provide the pay range of a position to an employee who is offered a promotion or transfer and, on request, provide the pay range to employees who already hold that position or are applying for it. These requirements are effective July 31, 2025.
The legislation also requires public and private employers with 100 or more employees to submit wage data reports to the state, which will then be published through aggregate wage reports by the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development. Covered employers must file their first EEO-1, EEO-3, and EEO-5 reports on February 1, 2025. EEO-4 reports must be filed starting February 1, 2026.
