Earlier this year, Washington enacted new amendments (the “2025 Amendments”) to its pay equity law, which will soon bring some relief to employers. Since 2023, the Equal Pay and Opportunities Act (EPOA) has required employers with at least 15 total employees and at least one Washington-based employee to include the wage scale, salary range, and other disclosures in covered job postings, as we previously explained here. The 2025 Amendments, among other things, clarify the remedies available under the EPOA and temporarily curb liability for employers who violate its pay transparency requirements. These modifications take effect on July 27, 2025.
