Maryland’s businesses will be required to take an important step forward in salary transparency as Governor Moore signed HB649 into law April 25. Under the new law, which takes effect October 1, 2024, businesses must include a pay range in job postings. Executive Alliance advocated for this change, citing growing research that points to a reduction in gender pay gaps and increased wages for women after states and/or employers have enacted pay transparency policies. This is a best practice that helps businesses attract and retain employees by creating more transparency in the hiring process. It also helps ensure that pay is set fairly, which is a significant problem for women and especially women of color, who have significant pay gaps as compared to men.
