Summary:

On February 16, 2023, Representatives John S. Cutler and Brandy Fluker Oakley brought Bill H.1849 to the Massachusetts House with goal of enforcing salary range transparency for companies and organizations across the state. Like other states’ pay transparency legislation, Bill H.1849 serves as a stepping stone toward more honest and fair hiring practices that most often save both the companies and candidates involved time and money while encouraging greater pay equity.

In this episode, Representatives Cutler and Fluker Oakley discuss the proven benefits of salary range transparency.

Quotes:

“As a woman and a black woman at that, I recognize and know firsthand inequities with pay, and it has to stop somewhere.” -Rep. Brandy Fluker Oakley

“The hiring process can be costly—investing in personal time in candidates who don't share the same salary expectation is really a waste of company resources and the candidates' time. By putting, you know, the pay out from the beginning and the outset, you're removing that” -Rep. Josh Cutler
