Taken from the kit’s own Start Here guide, so what you see here is what you open after checkout.
How to use it
Follow these 4 steps to check state requirements, prepare job postings, and maintain the required records.
Confirm which state rules apply to your hiring. Most states have an employer-size threshold. Several start at 15 or more employees, while Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia cover all employers. The checker identifies the applicable states and what your postings must include.
Develop a defensible pay range. Use the pay range and good-faith estimate worksheet to consider market data and your internal pay, keep the range width sensible, and document how you arrived at it.
Prepare the posting and adopt the policy. Use the job posting template to include a range, a basis, and a benefits description in every posting. Then adopt the posting policy.
Maintain your records. Log each posting on the compliance tracker, retain it through the retain-until date, and document any complaint and its remediation. Review unusual cases with counsel.
