Should New Brunswick Require Employers to Disclose Pay Information?
Official title: Review of Pay Transparency in New Brunswick
New Brunswick wants to know if employers should be required to share salary information openly. The province is exploring a Pay Transparency Framework to address wage gaps and make workplaces fairer. They're asking workers, employers, unions, and advocacy groups what this should look like.
Why This Matters
Ever wonder if your coworker makes more than you for the same job? Pay transparency rules could require employers to post salary ranges in job ads and report on pay gaps. This affects anyone who works for a living in New Brunswick—especially women and marginalized groups who often face hidden wage disparities.
What Could Change
New Brunswick could require employers to disclose salary ranges in job postings. Companies might have to report pay gap data publicly. The framework could include enforcement mechanisms for unjustified pay disparities.
