WAC 296-123-060

(1) The employer must disclose in each posting for each job opening the wage scale or salary range, and a general description of all of the benefits and other compensation to be offered to the hired applicant. For the purposes of this section, "posting" means any solicitation intended to recruit job applicants for a specific available position, including recruitment done directly by an employer or indirectly through a third party, and includes any postings done electronically, or with a printed hard copy, that includes qualifications for desired applicants.

(2) The wage scale or salary range must reflect the employer's most reasonable and genuinely expected range of compensation for the job at the time of posting. The range must include a minimum and maximum dollar amount. An employer may also include a more specific hiring wage scale, salary range, or amount.

(3) A general description of all benefits must provide the applicant with the employer's most reasonable and genuinely expected benefits offered for the specific available position. A "general description of all benefits" includes, but is not limited to, health care benefits, retirement benefits, any benefits permitting paid days off (including more generous paid sick leave accruals, parental leave, and paid time off or vacation benefits), and any other benefits that must be reported for federal tax purposes, such as fringe benefits.

(4) Upon request of an employee offered an internal transfer to a new position or promotion, the employer must provide the wage scale or salary range for the employee's new position.

(5) This section only applies to employers with 15 or more employees. For the purposes of this section, the employer's size is based on the number of employees employed at the time the job opening is posted and includes employees who do not have a physical presence in Washington.

(6) A job applicant or an employee is entitled to the remedies in RCW 49.58.060 and 49.58.070 and associated rules for violations of this section. Recovery of any wages and interest must be calculated from the first date wages were owed to the employee.
