Overview
- Massachusetts will require covered employers with an average headcount of 25 or more whose primary place of work is in the state—including certain remote workers—to include good‑faith salary or hourly ranges in all job postings starting Oct. 29, 2025.
- Massachusetts must also provide ranges to applicants for specific roles and to employees upon request or when offering promotions or transfers, and guidance treats anyone who applies as an applicant even if not qualified.
- Massachusetts enforcement runs through the Attorney General with escalating penalties from a warning to fines up to $25,000 for repeated violations, and an initial two‑business‑day cure option for posting defects.
- Delaware’s newly signed law applies to employers with more than 25 employees and will require postings to include a pay range plus a general description of benefits and other compensation, with effectiveness set for September 2027.
- Delaware will enforce through the Department of Labor with a warning for a first offense and $500–$10,000 fines thereafter, and the statute carves out immediate temporary hires, delays coverage for CBA roles until amendment, and shields employers from liability for unauthorized digital reposts.
