I'm seeing complaints coming up in the forums as jurisdictions are implementing salary transparency laws and companies posting jobs on Archinect are allegedly not immediately following legal requirements to disclose salary ranges on those postings. These complaints seem to focus on Archinect not doing enough to enforce these laws on the job posts they publish. I get it, Archinect could hold a lot of power here to refuse to post jobs where the posting is not written to comply with these laws, but it's not their responsibility or their job. 

I think the target of the complaint is misplaced when we focus on Archinect and not the company who is actually required to comply with the law (don't shoot the messenger etc.). I'm not trying to say Archinect can't do more, but I'm saying if you want to make an effort to fix these posts, you should first be going to the companies, and/or the authorities that enforce these laws.

So with that in mind, here are a list of the jurisdictions that have salary transparency laws, a brief overview of the law, and where you can find more information including how you might report a violation if applicable. This is information I've been able to source and I'll include links as necessary. Please review this additional information from the source(s) as the laws and their applicability vary. 

Please leave a comment if you note anything is wrong, out of date, a link is broken, or there is better information out there. I can update this post with additional information.

Canada:

Note as well that there are other jurisdictions where employers are required to provide a pay scale after the first interview, upon request, or similar ... but not necessarily in the job advertisement itself. At this time I'm not including those because the complaints I've seen in the forums tend to be for those not including it in the job advertisements.
