Purpose
- To require employers to be transparent about pay and health care costs in job postings. Specifically, postings must show the starting salary range, describe benefits, and indicate whether a health plan option meets cost-sharing limits.
Main Provisions
- In Minnesota Statutes 2024 section 181.173 subdivision 2 (Salary ranges in job postings required):
- For every job opening, the posting must include:
- the starting salary range, and
- a general description of all benefits and other compensation (including health and retirement benefits),
- and whether the applicant will be offered a health plan option that complies with the cost-sharing limits under section 62Q.481 subdivision 1.
- If an employer does not plan to offer a salary range for a position, the posting must list a fixed pay rate.
- A salary range may not be open-ended.
Changes to Existing Law
- Adds explicit requirements to disclose compensation and benefits, including health plan cost-sharing information, in each job posting.
- Establishes that if no range is offered, a fixed pay rate must be shown.
- Prohibits open-ended salary ranges in job postings.
Practical Implications

- Employers must prepare postings that clearly state salary, benefits, and health plan cost-sharing details.
- Could influence how salaries and benefits are communicated during hiring.
