Earlier this year, Massachusetts enacted a new law entitled an Act Relative to Salary Range Transparency (the “Act”). The Act contains numerous new requirements for Massachusetts employers, including pay range disclosure requirements in job postings and advertisements.
Under the Act, employers with 100 or more Massachusetts-based employees at any time during the prior calendar year are also required to submit a wage data report with the Secretary of the Commonwealth. The report must be submitted by or before Feb. 1, 2025, and before February 1st annually moving forward. The reporting obligations include aggregated wage data by race, ethnicity, sex, and job category. Covered Massachusetts employers should work with counsel to prepare and file the required wage data report by the upcoming deadline.
