![]() As of January 1, 2023, Washington state amended its Equal Pay and Opportunities Act to require
employers with 15 or more employees to include pay ranges in all job advertisements. Other states have followed, California (effective January 1, 2023), Colorado (currently in effect) and New York City (effective November 1, 2022), in this regard.The Washington law applies to employers with 15 or more employees, with at least 1 Washington-based employee.The employer must disclose the wage scale or salary range, and a general description of all benefits and other compensation to be offered to the hired applicant.The law also applies for remote work for companies that engage in business in Washington and if the work could be performed by Washington-based employees. It is important to note that employers do not need to disclose the information if the job will be performed entirely outside of Washington, but the job posting reaches applicants who would fill the position as a Washington-based employee. The pay transparency requirements are an amendment to the Equal Pay and Opportunities Act ("EPOA"). The EPOA requires: 1. Employers must provide equal compensation to "similar-employed workers." 2. Career advancement opportunities may not be based on the gender of employees. 3. Employees are free to discuss their wages. 4. Employers cannot take retaliatory actions against employers for discussing wages, filing complaints, or any other protected rights under the EPOA. 5. Employers cannot seek (or ask) for wage or salary history of an application, other than to confirm an applicant's voluntary disclosure after an offer of employment is made.

"As much as I am shocked and ecstatic to have won the Powerball drawing, the real winner is the California public school system". No one would convince me that winning this lottery Powerball or mega millions is not something that changes the way and view of life's prospects. My name is Edwin Castro and I am from California, United States. I won the Powerball Lottery on Nov 7 2022 and I am coming to say a wonderful and big thanks to Dr Anokokudo for helping me with the winning numbers for the Powerball Lottery. I was really overwhelmed the day I contacted Dr Anokokudo to help me win the California Powerball Lottery when he instructed me what to do. The time came to play the lottery and I did and believe me, it was exhilarating. I won the Powerball $2.04 Billion and collected the lump sum of $997.6 Million and the November Powerball drawing raised a record $156.3 million for the California public school system. I am indeed thankful to Dr Anokokudo and others who helped me with his contact. Anyone who reads my comments should also try to contact Dr Anokokudo at ANOKOKUDOTEMPLE@GMAIL.COM

Big thanks to Mr Mark Toray one of the best binary options managers who have the best strategy and signals that can help you win every time you trade before meeting him I was scammed several times and I lost $28,000 to 2 different managers who claim they are real but turn into monsters the moment I fund my trading account but today I'm so grateful to Mr Mark Toray for coming to my rescue. I started trading with them with just $2000 to test the system they help me trade with my deposit and after 7 working days I made a withdrawal of $20,300. I was so amazed with the profit earned I posted this to those who are already given up on binary and Forex options and to the newbies take advice and be saved.. if you contact him tell him I referred you so that I will have my referring bonus.... you can contact him via marktoray8@gmail.com or telegram @mark4toray_fx You will be glad you did it.
