In A Big Win For Workers—New York City Will Make It Mandatory For Companies To Disclose Salaries On Job Advertisements It feels like almost everyone is looking for a new job. There are about 11-million jobs available, and each month millions of Americans quit their positions in pursuit of better opportunities. One of the most important aspects of a new job is the compensation. Up until now, the overwhelming majority of companies conveniently left out the salary from their job advertisements. Lost in the holiday season and the surge in Omicron, there was a piece of great news that went overlooked. Under a new law passed by the New York City Council—which will go into effect in April 2022 if not vetoed by January 14, 2022— employers in New York City will have to include the minimum and maximum starting salary for any "advertised job, promotion or transfer opportunity." This will be a complete game changer, and bode well for both people searching for a new job and current employees. The piece of legislation pulls back the curtain on salaries, which has often been viewed as a deep dark hidden secret by corporate executives. This unfair one-sided way of doing business is detrimental to the person seeking out a new job. An applicant would be forced to interview with three to six plus people for up to six months. After the culmination of the arduous emotionally draining interview process, an offer could be made that is far below the expectations of the eager candidate. The ordeal was a complete waste of time and energy for everyone involved in the hiring process. The experience looks bad on the company. The disheartened job hunter will surely share this horror story on social media and with friends which could make it harder for the company to recruit people in the future. Even in this hot, tight job market, the interview process usually entails enduring some rude behaviors, cancellations of interviews at the last moment, lack of feedback, getting ghosted and receiving a lowball offer. When the new law comes into practice, things will be different. A person will have the ability to see the salary range and make an informed decision to pursue the role or not. There would no longer be any guesswork or wishing that the money will be there at the end of the interview ordeal, as the job hunter will have the compensation range up front. The bill, which passed with a 41 to 7 vote, states that employers who fail to list minimum and maximum salary ranges for New York City-based roles are engaging in discriminatory practices. This bill applies to advertisements for both private and public sector jobs, as well as promotions and transfer opportunities. Council member, Helen Rosenthal, said of the new law, “Lack of salary transparency is discriminatory and anti-worker,” and “Every New Yorker should have the right to determine whether they will be able to support themselves and their family when they apply for a job. It is time to level the playing field, and restore some dignity to New Yorkers seeking employment.” There are pay transparency laws already in California and Colorado, and it's likely with New York aboard, this will spread throughout the country. In a fairly recent new law enacted by a number of states, it was ordered that businesses couldn't ask a job hunter how much they earn and what was their salary history. Although it's not a law in all states, a significant number of companies based in locations that don't have to abide by the ruling, voluntarily adhere to this ‘no questions about compensation will be asked' policy. There will be positive, and some unintended consequences resulting from this new rule.

Episode 215: CM Helen Rosenthal On How The City Should Approach Its Massive Budget Gap by Max & Murphy

We are all consuming a lot of information not only about this virus (COVID-19) and evaluating the government's response, at all levels. So coming to the front of the class we are bringing some science based facts from microbiologist Coqui Negra and some facts about how our various levels of government and bureaucracy work in a crisis from New York City Councilwoman Helen Rosenthal. Our Guests Coqui Negra has an undergraduate degree in clinical laboratory science and a PhD in microbiology and immunology. Her research centered on Gram negative pathogenesis and she did postdoctoral research in a vaccine development center. After a decade of educating clinical laboratory science students, she moved to a scientific society to work on clinical laboratory policy in Washington, DC. Helen Rosenthal represents the Upper West Side of Manhattan in the New York City Council and is Chair of the Committee on Women and Gender Equity. Over the past six years, Helen has passed legislation to stop sexual harassment in the workplace, trained NYPD in victim-centric and trauma-informed investigations of sexual assault, improved health outcomes for black women in pregnancy and childbirth, and addressed gender wage parity. In her first term, Helen chaired the Council’s Committee on Contracts, where she focused on increasing funding and expediting payment for social service contracts. She championed worker co-operatives and focused on procurement reform for the 21st century. She also co-chaired the Women’s Caucus. In both terms, Helen was selected to join the Council’s Budget Negotiating Team and has been a vocal supporter of tenants, labor, safe cycling, and pedestrians. Helen was elected to the New York City Council in 2013 with the highest vote total of any candidate for City Council in New York City, a feat she repeated in her 2017 re-election. In 2017, she was endorsed by the New York Times [“valorously supported a school desegregation plan for her district in the face of opposition from various interests],” the New York Daily News, and the Amsterdam News.

Listen to Zack (2020) talk about his experience as a Legislative Intern in New York City council member Helen Rosenthal’s office this summer. Stephanie: Hi You're listening to Gear Up the Duke Career Centers student produce podcasts showcasing real students summer internship experiences. My name is Stephanie Mayle and today we're talking, to Zack who worked, for New York City, City Council matter this summer. Zack: Hi there, my name's Zack Guffey, I’m a senior here. I am studying public policy. I have a minor in music. Stephanie: Oh that's cool. Zack: Yeah, I've played the trumpet since the third grade, but since getting here I've started pursuing public policy. Stephanie: And where did you work this past summer? Zack: So this past summer, I was an intern in New York City Council member Helen Rosenthal's legislative office. So I worked directly with the legislative director. My primary responsibilities were memo writing. I attended a lot of committee hearings and I did a lot of research for the council member when she was making decisions on votes and policy issues. And I even got the opportunity to write two opinion pieces that were since published on issues that were important to the council member. Stephanie: What issues were they? Zack: The first one was on the city's, in my opinion, broken procurement process. So basically New York City subcontracts a lot of its human centered work, which includes homeless shelters, food pantries, some of the most vital services for the the city and the city is very, very bad about paying those subcontractors, which are often nonprofits on time. Zack: And so what these nonprofits end up doing is they end up going to banks and getting loans to cover their costs that are growing and mounting. As New York City is late to pay its bills. And so it's a burden on organizations that are in New York City trying to do good. And so that was one opinion piece. And I think I remember the other one was, oh, well, it's big news now in New York City. The New York City Council just approved the borough-based jails program. And so that includes closing Rikers Island and opening up new modern community-based jails in each of the boroughs. And one very small subset of this issue is what to do with the women. As chair of the Committee on Women in Gender Equity, my council member was pushing for a women's only facility in one of the boroughs. So that was the other opinion piece that I wrote on. Stephanie: Also important, so how did you get connected to this council members specifically and kind of find he opportunity to work for her? Zack: So I actually was of the belief that I didn't want to run to DC as quickly as possible and work in some congressperson’s office. I really thought that it was my day to day would look like for them would be picking up phones and replying to emails and stuff like that. And so I was not that excited to pursue that for my summer internship. And so I for personal reasons. My family is from New York. I'm from New York, wanted to be in New York City during the summer. So there are only so many public policy options in New York City, and one of which included the mayor's office and the city council. And so I started poking around on the city council's Web site looking for council members that one have internship programs and two are sort of interesting. And so obviously not many people know about like the internal functioning of local New York City politics. But council member Rosenthal is running for city comptroller in 2021. This is her second term as a city council member, and she's fairly influential and chairs the Committee on Women and Gender Equity. So I reached out to her. I had a phone interview with her former legislative director, Ned Terrace, and we hit it off and here I am. Stephanie Yeah, I am one of those people that does not know the inner workings of New York City Council. So, I mean, how many people are also working very like what was the
