Vermont Pay Transparency Law: Promoting fair pay disclosure

Effective July 1, 2025, Vermont’s Pay Transparency Law (Act 155) will require employers to disclose compensation or the range of compensation in written job advertisements. This law is designed to ensure equity and openness in the hiring process. 

Key provisions 

  • Disclosure requirement: Employers with five or more employees must include the expected compensation or range of compensation in job advertisements. 
  • Applicability: The law applies to all written job advertisements for positions physically located in Vermont or remote jobs predominantly performed in Vermont. 
  • Exemptions: Jobs paid on a commission or tipped basis must disclose that fact but are not required to list specific compensation ranges.
