Massachusetts has a new Wage Transparency Law.
Beginning October 29, 2025, the law requires employers with 25 or more employees (“covered employers”) to establish and disclose pay ranges in job postings and to employees. A “pay range” is “the annual salary range or hourly wage range that the employer reasonably and in good faith expects to pay for such a position at that time.”
Also beginning October 29, 2025, employees or prospective employees of covered employers have a right to know the pay range for a position when applying for a position, upon promotion, transfer, or beginning a new position, and on request for their current position. Covered employers are prohibited from retaliating against employees who seek to exercise their rights under the law.

The law firm of Rudolph Friedmann LLP has directed a cy pres award (unclaimed moneys from class action settlements) to the Fair Employment Project!
The award comes from the settlement of a case brought under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Adam Shafran, a partner at Rudulph Freidman in Boston, represented the plaintiffs in the matter. Attorney Shafran is an experienced employment attorney who has counseled and litigated all aspects of the employment relationship. For the past five years, he has been selected to the Massachusetts Super Lawyers Rising Star list for employment litigation, an award recognizing the top 2.5% of attorneys under the age of 40 in Massachusetts.
Thank you!
