New Jersey Joins a Growing List of States Requiring Greater Pay Transparency
On November 18, 2024, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signed Senate Bill 2310 (S2310) into law requiring employers to provide notice of promotion opportunities to affected employees and disclose certain compensation and benefit information in postings for new job openings and transfer opportunities. The law will go into effect on June 1, 2025. New Jersey joins a growing list of states requiring pay transparency, including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Nevada, New York, Rhode Island and Washington.
How Did We Get Here?
A version of the bill (A3937, 2022-2023) was originally introduced in the General Assembly during the legislature’s last session and received bipartisan support in the Assembly Consumer Affairs Committee. After the committee made substantial revisions, the bill ultimately died in the Assembly Appropriations Committee. The Senate companion bill (S3663, 2022-2023) expired in the Senate Labor Committee without a vote.
