CT pay transparency: wage range disclosure on request.

Connecticut's pay transparency law (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 31-40z) requires employers to disclose the wage range for a position to applicants upon request, and to current employees in the same position. Connecticut's framework is request-based — unlike Colorado's posting requirement and California's posting requirement (15+ employees). The wage range must be the range the employer anticipates relying on when setting pay for the position. Failure to disclose creates direct civil exposure plus potential pay equity exposure if pay disparities correlate with protected classes.

Flag · wage range required for every Connecticut position

Every CT position requires a wage range captured at posting. The range must reflect what the employer anticipates relying on when setting pay for the position. Surfaced for applicants on request, and for current workers in the same position.

Avoid · pay disparities correlated with protected classes

Pay disparities across workers in the same position are correlated against demographic data (where lawfully captured). Patterns correlated with protected classes (gender, race, age, disability) trigger pay equity exposure under federal Title VII and CT Fair Employment Practices Act.

The rule, plainly stated

Wage range disclosure on request — to applicants and to current employees.

Connecticut's request-based framework is more flexible than Colorado's posting requirement but creates similar pay equity exposure when the range or actual pay reveals disparities.

Conn. Gen. Stat. § 31-40z — Pay Transparency: An employer shall provide an applicant for employment the wage range for a position upon the earliest of: (A) the applicant's request, or (B) prior to or at the time the applicant is made an offer of compensation. An employer shall also provide an employee the wage range for the employee's position upon the employee's hiring, a change in the employee's position, or the employee's first request for the wage range.

Disclosure to applicants

Upon an applicant's request, OR no later than the time of compensation offer (whichever earlier), the employer must provide the wage range for the position. The range must be the range the employer anticipates relying on when setting pay — not a fictional broad band designed to obscure actual pay practices. The disclosure can be made verbally or in writing; written disclosure is recommended for documentation.

Disclosure to current employees

Current employees are entitled to the wage range for their position: (1) at hire; (2) at any change in position (promotion, lateral move); and (3) upon the worker's first request. The disclosure provides workers with information to evaluate pay equity within their position and across the workforce. Workers receiving the disclosure can identify pay disparities that correlate with protected class membership.

On autopilot

Teambridge captures wage ranges, routes disclosures, and surfaces pay equity exposure.

The request-based framework is operationally simpler than posting requirements but creates the same downstream pay equity exposure when actual pay reveals disparities.

01 · Wage range capture at posting

Range required for every position.

Every CT position requires a wage range captured at posting. The range must reflect anticipated reliance for setting pay.

02 · Applicant request routing

Range disclosed on inquiry or at offer.

When an applicant requests the range OR receives a compensation offer (whichever first), the range is automatically disclosed. Documentation captured.

03 · Employee request handling

Range disclosed at hire / change / request.

Current workers receive the range at hire, at position change, or upon their first request. Each disclosure is logged.

04 · Pay equity correlation surveillance

Disparities correlated with protected classes.

Pay disparities within positions are correlated against demographic data (where lawfully captured). Patterns correlated with protected classes are flagged for review.

FAQ

People also ask.

What is Connecticut's pay transparency requirement?
Employers must disclose the wage range for a position upon applicant request OR no later than the time of compensation offer (whichever earlier). Current employees are entitled to the range at hire, at position change, or upon first request.
Is Connecticut's framework posting-based or request-based?
Request-based. Unlike Colorado's posting requirement (range must appear in job postings) and California's posting requirement for 15+ employee employers, Connecticut's framework requires disclosure upon request — not automatic posting in postings.
What counts as a 'wage range'?
The range the employer anticipates relying on when setting pay for the position. Range must be reasonable — not so broad as to be uninformative. Can include base salary, hourly rate, and any guaranteed minimum compensation. Variable compensation (commissions, bonuses) not required to be disclosed unless guaranteed.
Can employers ask applicants about salary history in Connecticut?
No. Conn. Gen. Stat. § 31-40z prohibits salary history inquiries. The salary history ban + wage range disclosure = Connecticut's pay equity strategy.
What's the exposure on pay transparency violations?
Direct civil exposure under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 31-40z plus pay equity exposure under Title VII and CT FEPA when pay disparities correlate with protected classes. Workers receiving the disclosure can identify disparities and pursue claims.
