So I saw this little gem on a job posting. I’m curious, 1) is this legal based on how it’s phrased and 2) what regulation would prevent pay disclosure like this?
However, due to regulatory requirements, we are only able to consider candidates who reside in U.S. states that do not currently mandate salary disclosure in job postings
This includes, but is not limited to: Texas, Florida, Missouri, Arizona, Indiana, North Carolina, and Wisconsin.
Candidates residing in California, Colorado, New York Illinois, Washington, or other states with active pay transparency laws will not be considered at this time
IANAL, but employment law is generally “it’s allowed unless explicitly forbidden”.
There is no right to be hired so they’re allowed to include any limitations on who they might hire except for those that are illegal. For instance they can say “we refuse to hire people who live in Illinois” but they can’t say “we refuse to hire Muslims.”
