Attorney General Brian L. Schwalb issued an advisory to businesses with District employees regarding DC’s Wage Transparency Act, which went into effect one year ago. The law requires employers to include specific wage and benefit details in job postings and creates workplace protections regarding compensation practices.

“The District’s Wage Transparency Act protects DC’s workers and ensures that all businesses compete on a level playing field. Today’s alert reflects our continuing commitment to ensuring that workers and the District’s business community fully understand their rights and obligations under the law.” – AG Schwalb
