Connecticut Employers Must Add Pay and Benefits to Job Ads, Effective Oct. 1
Connecticut employers must include a wage or a good-faith wage range and a general description of benefits in public and internal job postings under Public Act 26-12, signed by Gov. Ned Lamont on May 11, 2026. The requirement takes effect Oct. 1, 2026.
The Constitution State previously required wage-range disclosure only upon an applicant’s request or a job offer. Under the new law, the posting itself is the primary disclosure point. If a job isn’t posted, employers must provide the information when an applicant requests it or before discussing compensation or making an offer, whichever comes first.
The law applies to jobs performed in the state and to jobs performed elsewhere if the employee reports directly to a Connecticut-based supervisor, office or other worksite.
Payroll takeaway: Update job posting templates and hiring workflows before Oct. 1, 2026, to include the required wage or wage range and benefits information.
