New York’s Pay Transparency Law Catches Any Role Reporting to a Boss in the State
Law that takes effect Sept. 17 requires pay transparency for jobs based in New York state — and those that report to a NY manager
The New York state law is the latest in a wave of legislation that started in Colorado in 2021 and is now in place in states including Washington, California and Hawaii.

The law, signed by Governor Kathy Hochul last December, was modified to leave out requirements for every remote job out of state, but added that pay information be included if the job “will physically be performed outside of New York but reports to a supervisor, office or other work site in New York.” The legislation applies to New York City, which enacted its own pay transparency law last year. That law had no provision for pay transparency for remote workers based on their reporting line.
