In addition, these sessions were already scheduled:

The webinar set for Dec. 15 is full.

You can sign up for a session on the Workshops and Training Center web page. In the event title dropdown menu, look for “Equal Pay and Opportunities Act (Webinar)” to find the webinars.

During the webinar, you will learn about the new administrative policy that provides guidance on the Equal Pay and Opportunities Act (RCW 49.58).

The policy addresses job posting requirements for employers brought about by the passage of Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 5761. Effective Jan. 1, employers with 15 or more employees must provide a wage scale or salary range, plus information on benefits and other compensation in their job postings.

Topics to be covered include what constitutes a job posting, what information must be included in a job posting, what constitutes a wage scale or salary range as well as benefits and other compensation. You can also learn about the free consultations the program offers employers.
