The bill adds requirements for wage disclosure by employers under the Fair Labor Standards Act and establishes penalties for non-compliance.

  • 29 U.S.C. 201

    SEC. 8. REQUIREMENTS AND PROHIBITIONS RELATING TO WAGE DISCLOSURES. (a) In General.--It shall be an unlawful practice for an employer to-- (1) fail or refuse to disclose, in any public or internal posting for an employment opportunity, the wage or wage range for such employment opportunity; (2) in any case in which a public or internal posting for an employment opportunity has not been made available to an applicant for such employment opportunity, fail or refuse to disclose to such applicant the wage or wage range for such employment opportunity prior to discussing compensation with the applicant and at any time upon the applicant's request; (3) fail or refuse to disclose to an employee the wage or wage range for the employee's position upon hire and at least annually thereafter and at any time upon the employee's request; or (4) refuse to interview, hire, promote, or employ an employee or applicant for employment, or in any other manner retaliate against an employee or applicant for employment, for exercising any rights under this section.

    This inserts a new section requiring employers to disclose wage information and prevents retaliation against those exercising their rights under this new section.

  • 29 U.S.C. 216

    (f)(1) Any person who violates the provisions of section 8 shall-- (A) be subject to a civil penalty of $5,000 for a first violation, increased by an additional $1,000 for each subsequent violation, not to exceed $10,000; and (B) be liable to each employee or applicant for employment who was the subject of the violation for statutory damages between $1,000 and $10,000, or actual damages, whichever is greater, plus reasonable attorneys' fees, and shall be subject to such injunctive relief as may be appropriate. (2) An action to recover the liability described in paragraph (1)(B) may be maintained against any employer (including a public agency) in any Federal or State court of competent jurisdiction by any one or more employees or applicants for employment for and on behalf of-- (A) the employees or applicants for employment; and (B) other employees or applicants for employment similarly situated.

    This adds penalties for violations of the new wage disclosure requirements, including civil penalties and provisions for statutory damages.
