State pay transparency laws — salary range disclosure requirements

Whether an employer must disclose a salary/wage range in a job posting varies by state on three axes that only the statute text states precisely: the employee-count threshold that triggers the duty, whether the range must appear in the posting itself or only on request, and the penalty for non-compliance. Each record is one state, carrying its statutory citation, the employee-count threshold, what must be disclosed, and the penalty range. Answers 'does a 10-person company in New York have to post a salary range', 'what's the penalty for not disclosing pay in a Washington job posting', 'which states require pay-scale disclosure at 15 employees vs 4'.

Provenance — what every record carries

Every record carries source (the URL the value was read from) and source_quote (a verbatim quote from that page stating it). A value you cannot check against its page is indistinguishable from an invented one; these can all be checked. Each record is also individually addressable on the canonical site at its url.
