The New York City Council may make significant changes to its landmark salary transparency law before it even takes effect — including delaying enforcement by six months to November.

New York City had set May 15 as the deadline for every job posting to list the minimum and maximum salary for each position. The rule applies to jobs that are remote or in-person, salaried or hourly, that will be performed in the city by an employee working for a company with four or more employees.
