New Jersey Releases Guidance on Pay Transparency Law 

On June 1, 2025, New Jersey’s statewide pay transparency law (SB 2310) took effect. The law requires employers with 10 or more employees (over 20 calendar weeks) who operate or accept job applications in the state, including public entities such as state, county, or municipal governments to disclose pay and benefits details in job postings.  

The New Jersey Department of Labor (NJ DOL) has now provided interpretative guidance on the new law in the form of frequently asked questions (FAQs).

Employers should review these FAQs to ensure they fully understand their obligations under the law and consult legal counsel for additional guidance.
