HB4858

Illinois HB4858 amends the Equal Pay Act to require employers with 15 or more employees to include base and variable pay scales in job postings.

Illinois HB4858 amends the Equal Pay Act of 2003 to mandate that employers with 15 or more employees include both base and variable pay scales in job postings. The bill defines "base pay scale" as the wage or salary range for a position and "variable pay scale" as additional compensation like bonuses or commissions. Employers must provide these scales as separate ranges in job postings. The bill also prohibits employers from asking about or considering an applicant's wage history during hiring and from retaliating against employees who discuss their wages.
