Update: New Jersey proposed updates to its pay transparency law in October 2025. If passed, the requirements will be a first of its kind in that there will be limited on salary ranges so employers cannot post open ended ranges. Read on to learn more about the updates.  

The topic of pay transparency continues to gain attention across the United States, and New Jersey is no exception. NJ implemented a new pay transparency law effective June 1, 2025, requiring certain employers to disclose salary ranges in job postings and provide current employees with notifications of promotional opportunities.  

By mandating more pay transparency, New Jersey seeks to improve pay equity and give workers more insight into potential earnings and benefits. Let’s review the specifics of New Jersey’s pay transparency law, what it means for employers, and how HR can help prepare their organizations for these changes.
