Reply to comment by redcremesoda in Employers that have four or more employees in NYC are legally required to share salary ranges for job listings. by [deleted]

Recruiter here. My company explained today why this will happen. If we have an open Analyst position that can operate out of our Atlanta and New York offices, and the pay range for Atlanta is 60 to 75k, and for NYC, it's 85k to 100k, our job posting is going to list the pay range as 60 to 100k.

Obv. not as drastic as your example, but multiply this by multiple regions and pay ranges are going to come across as inflated.

From the fact sheet link by Op:

>Advertisements that cover multiple jobs, promotions, or transfer opportunities can include salary ranges that are specific to each opportunity.

For reference since someone else linked their listings JP Morgan is now listing the salary range for each possible location. (Even when the ranges are the same for every location)

Also if a company is looking for NYC workers it's not in their interest to put $60k on there if HR doesn't expect anyone in NYC to take the job for less than $85k.

Now that the numbers have to be there employers are probably going to want them to be accurate. A falsely low minimum and employees that have other options don't even apply. A falsely high maximum and companies waste time doing interviews and giving offers to people that turn it down because they were expecting a much higher offer.

Whenever I see job postings that include multiple states and Colorado though it always specifically mentions the Colorado salary
