As employers move to formalize pay bands for roles and skills to ward off discrimination claims, pay transparency has risen in popularity.
According to experts, this can mean an employer encouraging workers to discuss pay information (which is permitted by the National Labor Relations Act anyway) or an employer making public its pay bands.
Some of this has been driven by outside sources. To take the guesswork out of the equation for job seekers, for example, job boards are increasingly rolling out tools like LinkedIn’s Salary Insights, which appear on job listings with an estimate of what a position is likely to pay.
