How do I add salary range to a job posting?
Add a good-faith pay range in the compensation section, identify the pay basis, and screen the full posting for state-specific benefits and deadline requirements.

Salary range job posting template
A salary range template should state a good-faith pay range, name the pay basis, preserve role-specific context, and avoid promising compliance. Treat template language as a drafting aid that still needs screening against covered-state source material.

Pre-publication checks
- Use a real good-faith range instead of a placeholder.
- State whether the range is annual salary, hourly wage, or another pay basis.
- Add benefits and other compensation language when the posting screen calls for it.
- Include location or remote-work assumptions that affect the range.
- Run the final pasted posting through the checker before publishing.
