Job seekers actively searching for new opportunities are combing the internet for remote job postings. But do all remote job postings comply with the various laws that differ across jurisdictions?
Are human resource professionals ensuring that their remote job postings meet these legal requirements? Non-compliance could result in legal challenges, fines, or even damage to the company’s reputation.
The topic of legal compliance in remote job postings recently came up during a discussion with a group of job seekers in the Great Careers Network.
As I prepare to speak for the second consecutive year at the Garden State Council (GSC) SHRM Conference in Atlantic City, I reached out to a New Jersey attorney specializing in employment law for insights on salary disclosure in remote job postings.
He provided valuable advice through an article covering the complexities of remote job posting laws, which are subject to constant change. His primary recommendation is to always seek advice from an employment law attorney in your specific jurisdiction or area of employment for tailored guidance. This discussion ensures you have the clarity and assurance you need.
Laws on job postings can vary widely—what applies in one city might be different across the entire state.
The complexities around remote job postings often depend on several factors, including the company’s headquarters, the location of supervisors, the worksite, and even specific candidate requests.
Since legal language can range from vague to highly specific, consulting an employment law expert in your region is vital for clear and accurate advice.
For a deeper dive, read Must Employers Nationally Post Salary Ranges for Remote Positions?, an insightful article by Hanan M. Isaacs, Esq., a Sr. Attorney at Kingston Law Group in Princeton. This article offers valuable insights into salary disclosure laws for remote roles.
