Seven files that take a posting from draft to documented
A template you publish from, a worksheet that sets the range, a policy for the people who write postings, a tracker that runs the dates, and a checker before anything goes live. Built to be used together on every posting.

What each file does, the order to use them, and which states reach you in plain language. One page, read it first.
Multistate Job Posting Template
A ready-to-fill posting that carries a pay range, the basis for it, and a benefits line where a state requires one, with coaching notes on each field and a pre-publish checklist.
Pay Range and Good-Faith Estimate Worksheet
Build a defensible range from market data and your internal pay, keep the width sensible, and record how you arrived at it, so the number holds up if it is ever questioned.
Pay Transparency Posting Policy
A short internal policy for the people who write and approve postings, so the required lines go in every time and not only when someone remembers to add them.
Recordkeeping and Remediation Guide
What to keep and for how long, and the steps to take if a complaint or an agency notice arrives, written so you act in order instead of improvising under pressure.
Multistate Pay Transparency Tracker
Six tabs: a verified state-by-state requirements reference, a job posting audit, a pay-range worksheet, a posting compliance tracker that dates how long to keep each record, and a complaints and remediation log. Works in Excel or Google Sheets.
US Pay Transparency Posting Checker
See which states reach you, the combined set of elements every covered posting must include, and where your gaps are. It runs locally in any browser, uploads nothing, and its result is a self-assessment that your counsel can take into a formal compliance determination.
The method in the order a posting runs
States first, pay second, then the posting and the records. The pack drafts and documents; counsel makes the close calls.
Confirm which states reach you
Posting rules start at a size threshold in most states, at 15 or more employees in several, and reach all employers in Colorado, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. The free checker shows where you stand and what your postings must carry.
Set a defensible range
Use the good-faith estimate worksheet to build a range from market data and your internal pay, keep the width sensible, and record how you arrived at it. A range that ignores what you already pay creates an internal-equity problem of its own.
Build the posting and adopt the policy
Draft from the job posting template so every posting carries a range, a basis, and a benefits line where a state requires it, then put the posting policy in front of the people who write and approve postings.
Track and keep records
Log each posting and its retain-until date in the tracker, record any complaint or agency notice and how you resolved it, and where a posting is close or questioned, confirm the current rule for that state and take it to qualified employment counsel.
Built on the rules in effect now and honest about its limits
Pay-range rules differ state by state and change often, so the pack is careful where it counts and clear about where counsel takes over.
The rule behind thisState pay transparency posting laws ›The pack tells you when to call a lawyer
Posting rules look mechanical until a case sits near a line. The checkpoints below are marked in the templates and the tracker, so you slow down before publishing or correcting anything. Advice early is far cheaper than a complaint later.
Who does what
A compliant posting splits the work between you, the pack, and your counsel. Here is the split, stated plainly.
- The pack carries the required lines; you make the posting yours. The template holds the range, the basis, and the benefits line. The role, the pitch, and what it pays stay your call.
- The pack structures the range; you set the pay. The worksheet builds a good-faith range and records how you got there. The number itself is a business decision.
- The pack maps the states; counsel rules on the gray areas. The reference shows who is covered and what each posting carries. Whether a particular remote role triggers a given state is a legal call.
- The pack dates the records; you keep them. The tracker calculates how long to hold each posting. Keeping the file, and producing it if anyone asks, is on you.
- The pack keeps the record, and the record is the point. A logged posting, a defensible range, and a complaints log are the difference between a clean answer and a scramble.
Who it is built for
Who this fits, and where to go if that is not you.
Built for
- A US employer hiring across more than one state that needs every posting to meet the rule that reaches it, without a lawyer on each one.
- A lean HR team or a recruiter who writes the postings and needs the required elements, a defensible range, and the records handled in one place.
- A company that posts remote roles and is not sure which states’ rules apply, and wants the coverage question answered before it posts.
If you are looking for
- Ontario or other Canadian posting rules, not US states. The Ontario Job Posting Transparency Pack covers the 2026 Ontario rules.
- EU pay-transparency obligations, not US states. The EU Pay Transparency Readiness Toolkit covers the Directive for employers operating in the EU.
