Remote does not mean rule-free
Your posting may still need review when the employer, reporting line, work site, or hiring footprint connects to a covered state.
Remote hiring compliance preview
Remote job pay transparency checker for salary range and benefits gaps
Paste your draft before it goes live. The checker flags missing salary range, benefits, and application-deadline language for remote roles that may touch Colorado, New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, or Minnesota.
Why remote postings get messy
One remote role can create several state-specific checks
Remote hiring moves faster than compliance review. A founder posts the first US role, a recruiter copies the same draft across channels, or a fractional HR operator cleans up a client job description right before launch. The risk is usually simple: the posting was written for hiring speed, not for state-by-state disclosure rules.
Salary range may not be enough
Some checks look beyond base pay and flag missing benefits, other compensation, or application-timing language.
Recruiting workflows spread drafts fast
Once a draft reaches LinkedIn, an ATS, agencies, and job boards, fixing missing disclosure language gets slower.
Manual review is too heavy for every draft
Use the checker as a first-pass screen before publishing or before escalating a draft to counsel.
Direct answer
Do remote job postings need salary ranges?
Often, yes. A remote posting can trigger pay transparency review when the employer, reporting line, work location, or hiring footprint connects to a state with disclosure rules. This site screens obvious gaps; it is not a legal opinion.

Remote job pay transparency FAQ
Is this legal advice?
No. Remote Job Pay Checker provides a screening report and drafting aid. It does not replace advice from a qualified employment attorney.
Who is the automated report for?
It is for founders, HR teams, recruiters, and fractional HR operators preparing to publish one remote job posting in the United States.
Can I post a remote job without a salary range?
Sometimes, but remote roles can trigger state pay transparency rules depending on employer size, reporting line, work location, and hiring footprint. Screen the draft before publishing.
Do benefits need to be listed in job postings?
In some covered states, yes. The checker flags missing benefits language where Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, or other included rules make benefits part of the posting review.
What text should I paste into the checker?
Paste the public-facing job draft, including location language, salary or hourly range, benefits, reporting line, and application deadline if available.
What do I get for $49?
You receive an instant state-by-state screening table, missing-disclosure checklist, source links, and copy-ready disclosure language generated from deterministic rules.
Is the $49 report a subscription?
No. The launch offer is a single automated report for one remote job posting.
Does this include human review?
No. The offer is intentionally self-serve: automated checks, source links, and drafting help only. It does not include attorney review, HR consulting, or manual edits.
Does this cover every US pay transparency law?
No. The launch version screens Colorado, New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Minnesota only. It is a focused launch product for common remote-posting disclosure checks, not a nationwide legal system.
Why focus on remote roles?
Remote roles are harder to screen because one posting can touch multiple state pay transparency rules at once.
Which states are covered first?
The MVP screens Colorado, New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Minnesota because each has clear public source material and common remote-hiring relevance.
Can a recruiter or fractional HR consultant use this for a client?
Yes, as a self-serve screening aid for one pasted posting at a time. The report helps identify obvious disclosure gaps before a draft is published or sent for deeper review.
What should I do if the report flags a gap?
Use the checklist and draft language to update the posting, then have the final version reviewed through your normal HR, recruiting, or legal process.
