“How much does this job pay?" is crucial for job candidates, increasingly answered early in hiring due to pay transparency laws. These laws, varying by jurisdiction, may restrict salary history inquiries or require wage disclosures for roles. Pay transparency fosters pay equity, impacting an employer's reputation and talent retention. It has evolved from prohibiting pay secrecy to mandating pay range disclosures. Pay transparency also promotes trust, competitive pay, productivity, and equity while attracting applicants but poses challenges like market alignment and employee discomfort.
