Career Center Info for Employers

NYC Pay Transparency Law

Effective November 1, 2022, employers advertising jobs in New York City must include a good faith salary range for every job, promotion, and transfer opportunity advertised. Disclosure of salary includes the base annual or hourly wage or rate of pay, regardless of the frequency of payment. By posting on Fordham's job portal, Handshake, you are agreeing to comply with this law. Employers should follow the new law when advertising for positions that can or will be performed, in whole or in part, in New York City, whether from an office, in the field, or remotely from the employee’s home. Employer postings in NYC will be declined by the Fordham Career Center if salary is not listed.
