Springfield, IL (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – The Executive Vice President of Policy, Programs, and Research for Women Employed, Sharmili Majmudar, talks with Joey McLaughlin on the WTAX Morning NewsWatch about the start of pay transparency law that goes into effect Jan. 1, 2025. The law amends the Illinois Equal Pay Act, and continues the state’s commitment to ensuring equal pay for all workers. The new law requires businesses with 15 or more employees to publicly post the wage or salary range and information about the benefits and other compensation offered for a job, promotion, transfer or other employment opportunity starting in January 2025. It also requires employers to provide employees their current wage or salary range along with a general description of benefits and other compensation upon that employee’s hiring, promotion, or transfer, upon the employee’s request.
