Policies and procedures

Pay range transparency on job postings

New York State’s Pay Transparency Law requires all postings for jobs to be performed in the State of New York to include a salary range beginning September 17, 2023. This requirement includes faculty job postings. The University has chosen Sunday, September 10, 2023 as the date of compliance to ensure alignment across the institution.

Explore frequently asked questions below for more details.

How are the pay ranges for faculty job postings determined?

Decisions regarding pay for faculty are made within each school. Schools use a number of factors to decide the range for each of their postings, including but not limited to the job duties, market data, experience and expertise of the candidates, and internal equity considerations.

Why can staff see the pay ranges for their job codes in HRMS, but faculty cannot?

Pay ranges for faculty job postings are uniquely grounded in the academic discipline and subfield of the hiring unit. These ranges consider factors including but not limited to the job duties, market data, experience and expertise of the candidates, and internal equity considerations. Given these critical factors, it is not possible to tie faculty pay ranges to job codes in the same way that the Career Path Modernization (CPM) project has done for staff.
