Virginia’s Pay Transparency Law | Washington DC News

Virginia just cracked down on pay secrecy with a new law taking effect July 1st — now job postings must include salary ranges, and employers can’t ask about your past pay. This empowers job seekers to negotiate from a position of knowledge, not history, and aligns Virginia with a national trend toward pay transparency. While some flexibility remains in how wide those ranges can be, the message is clear: fairness is the goal. Employers are scrambling to update policies and train staff, with the Attorney General’s office ready to enforce — and penalize — violations. It’s a bold step toward closing the gender and racial pay gap, giving workers the tools to demand what they’re worth.
