The Maryland Department of Labor (MDDOL) has issued FAQs and template forms that are deemed to comply with the employer mandates of the Maryland Wage Transparency Law and the Paystub Notice Requirement. The laws are scheduled to go into effect Oct. 1, 2024.
Maryland’s Wage Transparency Law requires all employers — both public and private — to disclose in both internal and external job postings, including those posted through third parties:
If this information is not included in the original job posting, it must be disclosed to the applicant before any discussions about compensation and at any time upon the applicant’s request.
This requirement applies to work that is physically performed, “at least in part,” in Maryland. According to MDDOL, this includes jobs seeking workers in Maryland for remote work, although the company may be headquartered outside of Maryland.
Additionally, employers must retain records demonstrating compliance with the law for at least three years from the date the position is filled, or if it remains unfilled, from the date the job posting was initially made. The records must include wages, job classifications, and other conditions of employment.
