A bill for an act requiring certain employers to include pay scale information in communications offering employment, and providing penalties.

SF 502 requires Iowa employers with 15 or more employees to include a specific pay scale (salary or hourly range) directly in all job postings, ads, or recruitment communications - without allowing references to external sources. It applies to both direct employers and third parties (like job boards) handling recruitment. Violations carry civil penalties of $100 to $10,000 per offense, enforced by Iowa’s Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing. The law aims to increase pay transparency for job seekers in Iowa.
