While some employers may expect the new administration in 2025 to lead to fewer demands for pay and benefits transparency, the reality is likely to be quite the opposite. Despite the change in the White House, employers are unlikely to see the demand for pay and benefits transparency wane. What started as a compliance-driven requirement is now table stakes for employees and job seekers who are increasingly expecting transparency about pay and benefits and the fact that including pay ranges in job postings attracts a larger and more qualified applicant pool.

Slowed federal regulation may result in a series of modifications and progressive updates from state legislatures. There is also an elephant in the room: the EU Pay Transparency Directive, which calls for unprecedented transparency around pay and benefits.
