Employee compensation has historically been shrouded in secrecy, with employers rarely disclosing earnings for <\/span>job openings<\/span><\/a> until after offering the job to a candidate. This practice frequently causes candidates to decline offers when the salary doesn\u2019t meet their expectations, resulting in a tremendous waste of time and effort for the candidate and the recruiter. Legislation requiring pay to be publicized helps avoid this situation and has ramped up recently.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prospective employees strongly prefer upfront salary details. The Society for Human Resource Management\u2019s 2023 research indicated that <\/span>82% of U.S. workers<\/span><\/a> were more likely to consider applying for a job if the listing included the pay range. However, AON, a leading global professional services firm, found that 75% of employers weren\u2019t ready for pay transparency laws in its <\/span>North America Pay Transparency Readiness Study<\/span><\/a>, released in December 2024. Furthermore, it found that 63% of employers didn\u2019t currently share salary ranges with their employees, and of the 37% that did, only 61% did so because they were required to by law.<\/span><\/p>\n

Salary transparency benefits<\/span><\/a> every industry, including healthcare, where recruitment is fast-paced and hiring the best talent often hinges on pay. It\u2019s particularly helpful to travel nurses and other healthcare professionals due to the varying costs of living, especially housing costs, in different areas of the nation. Vivian Health dove into the legislation across all 50 states and the District of Columbia to learn which ones currently have salary transparency laws or plan to adopt regulations in the near future. We provide essential details on what\u2019s included in existing laws to help healthcare and other workers reduce pay gaps and make more informed career decisions.<\/span><\/span><\/h6>\n
