U.S. pay transparency laws are rapidly evolving, bringing one of the last workplace taboos—discussing salaries—into the open. New and proposed legislation requires employers to disclose compensation details to both prospective and existing employees, including posting salaries in job listings. While long-established in the public sector, these laws represent a major shift for private companies, with variations across states and jurisdictions. Some regions, such as Massachusetts, are expected to extend reporting requirements to all forms of compensation, including equity from company stock plans. This panel will provide an overview of current and emerging pay transparency requirements, explore how equity reporting is affected, and address challenges such as implications for remote workers across multiple jurisdictions. Attendees will leave with practical insights and foundational tools to ensure compliant and efficient reporting.
