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.
Colorado has amended its pay transparency law to require employers to disclose significantly more information to existing employees about available job opportunities and career progression paths.
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.
A study examining the EEOC's first-time collection of compensation data concluded that collecting pay data is an important tool for the agency to target its enforcement and investigation efforts and advance pay equity.
