NY is Looking to Mitigate Gender Pay Gap

An alumnus of Boston College Law School, Dyan Gershman, has been practicing law for over 25 years. Since 2014, she has served as managing partner of Gershman Law, PLLC, a New York City-based boutique corporate law practice that provides a wide variety of legal services to clients in the United States and worldwide. Dyan Gershman is a highly respected corporate lawyer in the New York City legal sphere.

As part of the New York’s move to mitigate the wide gap between the wages of men and women, the New York City council passed a bill that became law on January 15, 2022. This law requires all employers within the city with four or more employees to post their list of minimum and maximum salaries for every job position. This law will be effective beginning on May 15th and applies to all jobs, including those done remotely. Disclosing salaries ensures pay transparency and is a step forward in mitigating unequal gender treatment in workplaces.

Many advocates of pay equity are supporting this move. New York is not the only state encouraging pay transparency via salary disclosures. Some other states that have made this move are California, Nevada, Colorado, and Connecticut.
