Written by Adrienne Bliss, Director of Content at Eastridge | Jan 23, 2023 6:44:41 PM

New pay transparency laws now effective in 17 states – including California, Washington state and Colorado – will have major implications on companies with a contingent workforce. This webinar, co-hosted by Eastridge and labor and employment firm Littler, will discuss the essentials for ensuring compliant contingent labor strategies.


California and Washington have joined the ranks of states and localities with pay transparency laws containing job posting and reporting requirements and more states are likely to follow.  Ensuring compliance with these laws is essential for companies leveraging a temporary or contract labor workforce in 2023 and beyond. 

Eastridge Workforce Solutions has teamed up with labor and employment law firm Littler to offer an overview of these new laws, best practices for multi-state compliance related to contingent labor, and pitfalls for companies to avoid.  Decision makers who manage or oversee contingent workforce programs as well as leaders of organizations that utilize contingent labor programs should view the on-demand webinar to learn vital information about how new laws could impact their business and ensure they are implementing best practices to avoid pitfalls in the future.

Key takeaways from the webinar include:

  • Timing of Pay Range Disclosure
  • Reporting on Salary Ranges and Employee Categorization
  • Establishing Universal Compliance
  • Overview of Specific State Rules, Including Benefits and Commission Information in Postings
  • Rules for Remote Workers
  • Best Practices for Working with Staffing Firms
