How to use it

Your first 15 minutes

The 4 steps below run in the order they are numbered, and by the last one you track and keep records.

  1. Confirm which states reach you. Posting rules start at a size threshold in most states (15 or more employees in several, all employers in Colorado, Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia). The checker shows where you stand and what your postings must include.

  2. Set a defensible range. Use the pay range and 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.

  3. Build the posting and adopt the policy. Use the job posting template so every posting carries a range, a basis, and a benefits description, then adopt the posting policy.

  4. Track and keep records. Log each posting on the compliance tracker, keep it to the retain-until date, and record any complaint and its remediation. Take edge cases to counsel.
