Pay Transparency in Illinois Effective January 1, 2025

Starting January 1, 2025, Illinois will require employers with 15 or more employees to include pay scales and benefits information in all job postings. Employers must disclose wages or salary ranges, describe benefits and other compensation, and notify current employees of promotional opportunities within 14 days of posting externally. Employers utilizing third-party services for job postings must provide them with the necessary pay and benefits information to ensure compliance. Further, businesses are required to maintain records of job postings, pay scales, and benefits for each position for at least five years.  The law applies to roles performed fully or partly in Illinois, including remote positions reporting to a supervisor, office or other work site in Illinois.  Non-compliance may result in fines ranging from $500 to $10,000, with opportunities to cure initial violations.
