Perhaps I'm naive, but I've never seen a New York job without a salary range listed. I can't tell you whether it's being vigorously enforced, but it seems to me that it's having the intended effect.
At the very least, even if enforcement is lax, it's a good piece of information for the job applicant: if you are applying for a job in NY and the posting has no salary range on it, you automatically know that employer is willing to violate the law and can make a judgement call on whether to avoid them.
- OutOfHere 5mo agoYou must not have applied much to smaller and medium sized firms in New York because they're missing salary ranges all over the place.
- Grombobulous 5mo agoAdmittedly, no, most of the time I see them they're multi-location corporate roles where the company has two or three choices of offices and one of them is in NYC. I will point out that the state law has a number of exemptions: independent contractors and interns, companies with fewer than 5 employees, and commission-based roles don't need a salary range disclosure. NYC law is generally more strict on the subject. Perhaps if you're seeing a lot of jobs that aren't listing a range, it's possible they fit into one of those categories. After all, the vast majority of businesses measured by quantity of firms are small businesses.
