Yeah, totally agree! I really think this is great for New York regardless. I just wanted to shine some light on Hourly work because a lot of attention being shown to big companies like Citi and Deloitte posting outrageous salary ranges that are so spread out, but this law is actually the most helpful for workers who are underserved and taken advantage of! There should be just as much coverage when a company says a job pays $100k to $200k and people are like “how is this helpful” to when a business pays an hourly worker between $15 to $30/hr!
My favorite quote from a business was a guy that wanted to post “up to $17 per hour” on a job listing.
When i said that the minimum was $17 he said, “well we’re going to pay $15 for the first 12 to 15 months, and if the employee does well will bump that up to $17 afterwards”
I responded with “so your paying minimum wage and its going to take at least a year before you can even earn what you initially claim when you offer the job…”
He didn’t reply to the email after that.
What i hate the most is that these are the employers that trap those that really need a job and the money by misleading people in their advertisements.
Thanks! I actually work full-time in Strategy/Ops. Learned to code in college, but hadn’t done anything with it for 5 years. This was my first real project after picking it up again 6 months ago! However, more keen actually on UI/UX thinking, my Figma sketches have been improving everyday.
Thanks, this is great! This is a solo project for me right now, so doing all the developing, UI/UX, and data collections so ill use this as a reference when i improve the look!
Definitely aligns with what i’m trying to build. Not just salaries, but just the fundamental belief that people need more transparency.
You would think so… but looking at the Colorado and Connecticut transparency laws companies have managed to circumvent it doing two things:
Creating such a large range on salaries that it doesn’t even matter.
Burying the salaries on their websites. Look at a site like Sephora or LVMH jobs and you have to go all the way down to find a link on salaries that isn’t even highlighted. Then you click 3 more things after that.
Companies will always find ways to make it hard for workers if they don’t want to pay you well.
