Your pay rights by state

These states require pay in job postings, ban questions about your pay history, or both. Pick yours to see what employers must disclose and where to report a posting without pay. Whether a remote job is covered depends on the state: some look at where you would work, others at where the employer or the job's office is. Each page says how its law treats remote work.

This guide covers US states, DC and the EU directive. Cities, counties and US territories with their own pay transparency rules aren't listed yet.

About this information

Each summary is written in plain language from the law and the official guidance listed under its sources, and each page says when those sources were last checked. They were not written or reviewed by a lawyer.

This is general information, not legal advice, and using this site doesn't create a lawyer-client relationship. Laws and their interpretation change, and a page can be out of date even when its last-checked date is recent. Before making any legal decision, such as filing a complaint or suing, check the official sources and talk to a lawyer. The agency named on each page can also answer questions about your own situation.

If something is wrong or out of date, tell us and we'll check it against the sources and correct it.
