Probably easier to just do it for everybody than have two separate listings for WA and the rest of the US. I wonder if this is TC or just salary?

Everything I’ve seen so far is just salary. Which is kind of a huge loophole for tech companies where 20-60% of compensation is often in the form of stock and bonuses.
I am curious what level of details the text of the law requires:

https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?billnumber=5761&year=2021...

https://lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2021-22/Pdf/Bills/Se...

>disclose in each posting for each job opening the wage scale or salary range, and a general description of all of the benefits and other compensation to be offered to the hired applicant.

What is general description? Is that how many RSUs? Does it require showing what metal level health insurance is offered and specific the employer paid proportion?

Doubt it, assuming the law is similar to Colorado’s. A Colorado job listing for a FAANG that eventually offered approximately $270k in total compensation was roughly worded like this:

“Colorado residents: Pay for this job starts at at $100,000/year commensurate with experience, plus additional compensation through bonuses, restricted stock units and a comprehensive benefit plan.”
