AI Generated Summary

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

  • Job seekers will see upfront how much they could earn and what benefits are available, including the cost of health care.
  • 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.
