Pay Transparency

Effective Jan. 1, 2025, covered employers with 30 or more employees in the state are required to comply with the Minnesota pay transparency law.

Employers must disclose projected salary range – defined as a good faith estimate of the minimum and maximum annual salary or hourly wage range – or a fixed pay rate in each job posting.
Each job posting must include a general description of all benefits, including but not limited to health and retirement benefits, and other compensation offered.
The law applies to third-party agencies posting jobs for an employer.
