After the outbreak of the covid-19 pandemic, many businesses closed. Large companies started operating with remote job workers. Working from home seems like a difficult task, but over time, people have adapted. The system appears to embrace giant companies even after the pandemic has reduced. However, job postings are excluding Colorado residents, the report by wall street journal.

A recent Colorado law calls upon companies to disclose salaries in their job postings. Most companies usually keep that a secret to avoid gender wage gap issues. But such rules reduce those cases. We need fairness, justice, and equality for salaries paid because both genders perform similar tasks. People living in Colorado cannot apply for any remote jobs because of this situation.

Remote job posting excludes Colorado residents

We have many platforms like Turing, Glassdoor, LinkedIn, where jobs are posted daily. Currently, many companies will state that the vacancies are available except for Colorado residents. Companies have noticed that, and the trend is widely growing. This might negatively affect professionals from Colorado state. Positions such as senior managers are well-paying jobs. Now, it’s a negative turn for citizens in that small city. Whom will we blame?

Another case is a recent post about a sales specialist for McKesson Cor Distributors. A job listing of a scientist and an account executive for Cardinal Heath also included the exception in Colorado, “This is a remote, work from home position. This role is to be filled outside the State of Colorado”.

Not only to employees, but also it’s a burden to employers. Managers and business owners believe that salary should be secret talk. This is an agreement between the Company and the employee. But the state of Colorado believes that transparency helps protect workers from underpayment. Once taken to court, the issue was once re-visited, but the judges declared it a win for that law.

However, many legal experts believe that those adverts and job listings are still favoring Colorado people. Everyone is capable of securing a remote job advert. But the citizens of Colorado feel discouraged. Those people who are interested in remote working cannot achieve their dreams.

Colorado files a case

Colorado officials filed a case where a company excluded its residents from applying for the job. The Department of Labor and Employment declined to name the company, but the matter is under investigation into the case. Those officials fear because the trend might grow, and all the companies might do the same.

Last year, there was a strike over employers asking their employees to disclose their salaries’ history. Employers wanted applicants to attach their current salary range. Such issues are what has led to the Colorado Equal pay for Equal Work Act. It demands that every Company hiring company should disclose all the salary, expenses, taxes, and benefits of each post.

Mr. Mosi, a Colorado state official, has told state citizens to make sure there is salary information on any job listings to apply. There is no need for compensation, but the monthly or yearly salary is a must.

But these rules have changed how employers post their jobs since January 2021. We have seen Amazon post a software engineer job including salary for Colorado people ranging from $116,40 – $16000 per year. This does not include any compensation or allowance. An Amazon spokesman said they respect Colorado laws.
