This amendment provides that where a job opportunity is covered by a collective bargaining agreement (CBA), the compensation or compensation range disclosed in a notification should be one that has been agreed upon for disclosure in the CBA itself.

Plain English Breakdown

The candidate explanation includes details about protecting employers from unauthorized digital reposting, which are not explicitly detailed in the summary but are present in the full bill text.

Job Posting Compensation Disclosure

This bill requires employers to disclose agreed-upon compensation ranges in job postings covered by collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) after the CBA is updated, and it protects employers from liability for unauthorized digital reposting of their job listings.

What This Bill Does

• Requires that when a job opportunity is covered by a collective bargaining agreement (CBA), the salary or pay range must be disclosed according to what was agreed upon in the CBA.
• Makes this requirement apply only after the CBA has been updated, giving both sides time to discuss and agree on the compensation details.
• Protects employers from being held responsible if someone else posts their job listings without permission online.

Who It Names or Affects

• Employers who have collective bargaining agreements with unions.
• People looking for jobs covered by CBAs.
• Third parties who post or repost job opportunities online.

Terms To Know

Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA)

A contract between employers and workers' unions that outlines terms of employment, including pay rates and benefits.

Limits and Unknowns

• The bill does not specify what happens if a CBA is not updated after the effective date.
• It's unclear how this will affect job seekers who find unauthorized repostings of job listings online.
• This amendment only applies to future updates or renewals of CBAs, so existing agreements are unaffected.

Official Summary Text

This amendment provides that where a job opportunity is covered by a collective bargaining agreement (CBA), the compensation or compensation range disclosed in a notification should be one that has been agreed upon for disclosure in the CBA itself. The section becomes applicable to postings for opportunities covered by a CBA only when the CBA is amended, modified, or renewed after the effective date of the Act, to give the parties opportunity to consider the disclosed range in the course of negotiating a CBA.
The amendment also provides that an employer is not liable for job posting that are digitally replicated and published without the employer’s consent.
This amendment also makes a technical correction.
