Mass. Employers Face New Wage Reporting Rules, Starting This Week
Insights from Member Natalie Groot were featured in a Boston Business Journal article about the Massachusetts pay transparency law. The new rules went into effect this week and require employers to disclose wage information.
The article discusses the potential effects of the law, including how employees will be able to see that roles similar to theirs may have different wages. Natalie comments, “The employee impact is crucial. Existing employees, maybe for the first time, are going to see pay scales for jobs they’ve held. Now, all of a sudden, they might ask questions (like), ‘I was in that job for years, and my pay wasn’t in that range. Why aren’t I being paid back? Why am I at the lower end?’”
