New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has signed into law a new statute requiring pay transparency. The law will become effective on June 1, 2025.

Specifically, the law requires all employers that have at least 10 employees over 20 calendar weeks and that do business, employ persons, or take applications for employment within the Garden State

New Jersey is set to join the growing number of states mandating pay transparency in job postings. Senate Bill 2310 will require most employers to disclose the wage or salary range and a general description of benefits for new job or transfer opportunities. Governor Phil Murphy has until November 10, 2024, to sign the bill
