On June 1st, 2025, New Jersey’s Pay Transparency Act (the “Act”) goes into effect, requiring New Jersey employers to identify certain wage or salary information in both internal and external job postings. The Act is another effort in a series of steps taken by the state of New Jersey to promote pay equity.
Posting Requirements
The Act applies to employers, with ten (10) or more employees over twenty (20) calendar weeks, who conduct business or accept applications for employment in the state of New Jersey. To meet this threshold, the Act does not specify whether the employer must have ten (10) or more employees who actually work in the state or whether employers must also count remote employees. Since the Act is silent on this point, we recommend that employers with ten (10) or more total employees prepare for compliance.
