Reply to comment by joeyboii23 in New Washington state law will require employers to post job salary ranges by Sariel007

Also in Colorado the range has to be reasonable

Not sure of the specifics of that though

It has to be a “good faith estimate”. I report any job listing I see without a range. Not sure how much good it does but there are supposed to be fines for it

That's all well and good, but there needs to be specific language defining what a good faith estimate is. That's far too broad and open to interpretation to actually be effective. Enforcement would be a logistical nightmare as every company would end up trying to fight it, and companies that actually meant well might get flagged as well

Yeah I’m not sure what’s defined as reasonable though, because I have definitely seen jobs in range of 50k - 150k. That’s a huge difference for the same job.

That’s not unusual in engineering, the $50k is entry level and the $150k is 10+ year’s experience.

Makes sense for some jobs I suppose, but if it’s like a call center you better run.
