Companies are excluding Colorado from their remote employment opportunities in order to avoid sharing the salary range of their open positions.

In May of 2019 SB19-085, titled the Equal Pay For Equal Work Act, was signed into law in Colorado. It's a fairly short read if you're not familiar with it, but its main goal is enabling pay transparency to allow for people to know if they're being discriminated against with their wages and file a complaint with the CDLE.

The most visible part of the law has been the requirement for all job listings open to a CO resident to contain a salary range. If you've seen an increase in salary ranges on job postings recently you have this law to thank.

Some companies however have decided that excluding all Colorado residents for a remote job that can be filled by someone in any of the other 49 US states is better than sharing how much they're willing to pay.

I think it's important to name and shame these companies and not let them strong arm Colorado, or scare other states away from passing similar legislation. Do you know of any companies doing the same?
