#52It would be great if they could publish their salary bands. If you are advertising jobs to Washington State residents, by law, need to publish salary bands. This seems to be not compliant with our law.
wheres the line between a job board and an aggregator? As far as I can tell this just links through to the actual job postings, which may or may not be compliant. It will be an interesting transition period. I remember job ads telling Colorado residents they need not apply, but if you emailed them I bet it would have been fine.

Dunno about that. I am currently employed in a remote role at a huge company. I can move anywhere I want in the USA, except Colorado.

Why should remote mean global?
"Should" is a loaded word that I won't address, but commonly "work from home" is the term used when you're still located near the office, vs. "remote" which is where you're nowhere near an office.
It's not about being close to the office. For many teams it's about being in similar timezones. Companies hiring along the NA west coast for instance is pretty common and makes sense if you want people to collaborate closely.

This is going to start showing up in job ads: "This job is not available for people in the State of California, Washington or New York"

It seems straightforward to have a list of legally forbidden countries...?
It’s also pretty straightforward to work through a VPN and get paid out to foreign accounts.
Technically yes, but also this is likely fraud in most countries and would probably get you fired if found out

In that case you’re working for deel and deel is contracting you out to the hiring company. Companies can fire you/lay you off without even any of the mediocre protections you get under US law. I’m not sure how deel handles this situation with employees in countries with stricter worker protections. Do they require the company to pay severance, do they include that in their fees? I suspect that they are operating in…
> I’m not sure how deel handles this situation with employees in countries with stricter worker protections. Do they require the company to pay severance, do they include that in their fees? We hired engineers in Mexico through Deel and were required to provide the mandatory severance up front (I forgot the exact amount but I think it was like 3 months salary?). That money sat in an escrow account until we let go of…
That sounds like lawsuits waiting to happen for Deel and/or their customers. Either people are employees of Deel or they are your employees, Deel can't have their cake and eat it, too.

What specifically about Colorado is the issue? If you're already employed, I'm not sure why the law would apply to you?

Since aggregators aren't "job postings", I am guessing at least for WA, the website is compliant, but if you click through to the job postings, then the salary range is not published there either [0]. Should an aggregator be allowed to publish illegal job postings?

#60A candle in the darkness thank you. A suggestion: I would randomize the list in order to not bloat the top n inbox.
Yeah, currently the top companies are 10Up, Academia.edu, and Aragorn; so it is alphabetically sorted, in other words, arbitrarily.
