The hospital my husband works for is giving pay raises to everyone in his department. The announcement says they make every effort to ensure employees are paid competitively in the marketplace and that they review their pay scales on an ongoing basis. But this is the first time they're doing this in the 15 years he's been there. I wonder if this pay transparency has something to do with it? (he's union and has gotten whatever increases are negotiated in the contracts, but never a voluntary bump from the hospital)

Healthcare is a hot field. I mentioned in another thread that patient facing healthcare for the most part CANNOT be outsourced. Furthermore, extensive restrictions on data privacy from HIPAA mean that medical records cannot be sent to 3rd party countries like India. Instead they must be reviewed and stored in America. Even the predominantly low paid Haitian and Jamaican CNAs and janitorial staff in hospitals are organizing for higher wages. Good for them. They are directly exposed to biohazard patient waste.

Good part of healthcare already is outsourced and that trend is only going up.

Past few years with covid has thrown many healthcare providers for a loop. Staff up and down line either quit for other jobs, left profession all together and so on. As such places have had to up their game to keep what staff remains and or attract new hires.
Also many staff who remained and worked through covid were/are pi$$ed off by fact travellers (temporary nurses and others) were paid vastly more than themselves.
Rest of it is what it is and has been for some time now; many healthcare professions face a moderate to dire shortage. Staff such as professional nurses are not easily replaced. Best to give them more money if that will keep them from bolting for exits.
My not NY based company posted a listing for a position that is in person in NYC. They aren’t paying a penny over 65k. Listed salary 50-172k, the job will pay 65k.
Read the article. It's clear why the politicians enacted this law even. It's precisely because it can be selectively enforced and used as leverage when the need arises. I wouldn't be surprised if this was just another way to leverage campaign donations.
According to the Wall Street Journal, you don't have to publish salaries if you don't publish the job. Companies are making open positions "unlisted" and going through recruiters to make it known only to select people that there is an opening
That's a problem for companies too. The current employee making the low number is going to start asking questions why he's not getting the high number
Everyone thinks they should be at the high end of the scale.
In software development, payscales are pretty wide. Senior developer could be 5 years of experience or 20 years or leading a team and owning a part of the tech stack. Yet the moment someone becomes a Senior, they think they should be at the top.
