Another important consideration is compliance with current laws and regulations. For instance, we recently encountered an issue with a job posting in NYC that mentioned the requirement for a background check. This is illegal before a job offer is made, and violations can incur penalties up to $20,000 from the NYC Human Rights Commission. An attorney alerted us to this violation, and we promptly informed the member who posted the job. They managed to settle the matter for approximately $5,000 before it was escalated to the NYCHRC. This serves as a crucial lesson for all members.
There are numerous new laws regarding job postings, including requirements to post salary ranges in over 12 states and various local jurisdictions across the US. In Colorado, for example, job postings must include an application deadline. Compliance with these regulations is the responsibility of the NPAworldwide member posting the job, not the network. If we are informed of any potential violations, we will relay these to you, along with any associated fines.
To stay informed about these laws, you can use resources such as:
We hope you find the NPAjobboard to be a valuable tool. Remember, you only incur a fee for candidates who are successfully placed in a job, which is 12% of the fee collected from your client.
Wishing you safe, legal, profitable, and successful placements!
