New York Requires Hiring Notices to Address “Ghost Jobs”
Short summary
New York enacted a law requiring employers with 100+ employees to include specific notices in job postings indicating whether a position is a current vacancy and expected fill timing. Employers must remove filled postings within two weeks and notify third-party platforms. Violations carry fines of $2,500 per platform, escalating to $5,000 per platform for each 30-day period of non-compliance, making multi-platform exposure potentially costly.
