HR and talent-acquisition teams
A weekly check that a pay range has not dropped off a live posting, or that a new role went out without one.
Pay Transparency Compliance Monitor
Pay Transparency, Without the Guesswork.
Monitor job postings, identify potential pay-transparency issues, and keep your team informed as requirements evolve.
Less manual checking. More confident decisions.
- Pay per use, no subscription
- Reads public job feeds
- No ATS login needed
Potential issues for human review. Not legal advice.
14 states + DCUS state laws screened
4 provincesCanadian laws screened
$0.02per initial or changed posting
Weeklydefault re-check, daily available
Reads the public Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby job feeds. Not affiliated with or endorsed by any of them.
Who it is for
Built for the people who watch the postings.
If you publish or review job ads across states, provinces or countries, you get a repeating screen of the public boards you already use, without logging into an ATS.
Recruiting agencies
One watchlist per client, built from each client’s public job board. No access to their systems.
HR consultants
Keep an eye on several clients at once, with a digest and report that names the laws screened and links every source posting.
How it works
Three steps. Then it keeps watching.
Set it up once in your own Apify account. Re-checks run on the schedule you choose.
Paste a careers board
Add public Greenhouse, Lever or Ashby board URLs. The monitor reads the same public job feeds the careers site uses, then checks the posting page if the feed shows no range.

Screen each posting
Each posting is compared with in-force US, Canadian and EU posting rules that match its location text. Statuses stay cautious and every flag is a potential issue for human review.
Potential issueReview suggestedNo issue found
Get weekly alerts
Run the same watchlist weekly (daily is supported). You are told when a range disappears, a new posting has none, or a flagged item is resolved. Optional webhooks send the report onward.
Weekly digestReportWebhook
What you get
Less manual checking, built in.
The repetitive part of pay-range review, done on a schedule, with the source link beside every result.
Know when a pay range disappears
Every run re-reads the posting. If a range that was there is gone, or a new role goes up without one, it shows up in your digest.
Laws matched by location
Laws are matched from each posting’s location text. Remote US roles can be screened against the states you hire in, or every in-force state law.
Results you can read at a glance
Cautious statuses, never a verdict.
Potential issueA high-priority item was found in the text we can read, such as no pay range.
Review suggestedWording is unclear, or a lower-priority item may be missing.
No issue foundNothing was flagged. Not a statement that the posting complies.
Digest, report and webhooks
A weekly digest and a report that names the laws screened and links each source posting, so a person can review the live page. Optional webhooks pass the report to your own tools. Set a maximum cost per run and the actor stops cleanly at it.
Coverage and jurisdictions
2026 posting rules, kept as a screen, not a verdict.
Upcoming laws stay silent until their effective date. You can supply a headcount, and laws above your employer size are skipped.
United States, states
California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Vermont, Virginia† and Washington.
† Virginia: the effective date and employer-size threshold are still being verified against a primary source. The product flags this in its output, so treat Virginia results with extra care and check the statute.
United States, local and upcoming
In force
Upcoming
Canada
European Union
The Pay Transparency Directive is included as a note, applied through each member state’s own law.
Limitations
An honest screen, with honest limits.
This is a screening aid for public posting text. Every flag is a prompt to look, so a person should review the live posting before acting.
- It cannot see pay ranges shown only as images or PDFs.
- It cannot see anything behind a login, or on pages that need JavaScript to show the range.
- It does not read Indeed, LinkedIn or other copies of a posting. Workday, iCIMS and custom career pages are not supported yet.
- Facts such as employer size, where the worker will be based and exemptions can decide whether a law applies. A screen can’t see them.

Example data for illustration only. All employers, postings, locations and pay figures are fictional. “No issue found” is not a statement of compliance. Findings, when present, are potential issues for human review and are not legal advice.
FAQ
Questions, answered plainly.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is a screening aid for public posting text. Findings are potential issues for human review, and where it matters you should check with counsel.
Do I need to connect or log into my ATS?
No. The monitor reads public job feeds for Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby boards, the same ones a careers site uses, and then checks the posting page if the feed shows no range. It needs no access to your systems and is not an ATS partnership.
How often does it check?
Weekly is the default and daily is available. You can schedule the same watchlist in your Apify account, and set a maximum cost per run.
What does it cost?
$0.02 for an initial or changed posting check and $0.005 for a verified unchanged recheck, plus a $0.00005 actor start and normal Apify platform usage. It is pay per use, with no subscription.
What does “No issue found” mean?
Only that nothing was flagged by this screen. It is not a statement that a posting complies with any law.
Which laws and job boards are covered?
US state and local laws including NJ, Jersey City (5+ employees), VT, MA, Cleveland, CT and ME, with Columbus, Ohio from 1 January 2027. Canada: British Columbia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick. The EU directive is included as a note. See the coverage section for the full list. Boards: public Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby.
What can’t it see?
Pay ranges shown only as images or PDFs, behind a login, or on pages that need JavaScript. It does not read Indeed, LinkedIn or other copies of a posting.
What does this website collect?
Nothing personal. It sets no cookies and loads no analytics or third-party scripts. See the privacy note.
