About the Changes
Starting January 1, 2025, Minnesota employers with 30 or more employees must list the budgeted pay range and general benefits information in every job posting. This is due to Minnesota State Statute Sec. 42. [181.173].
This new law applies to all University job postings, including on third-party sites such as HigherEd Jobs, Indeed, and LinkedIn, as well as postings for student workers. Hard copies of job descriptions must also include budgeted pay and general benefits information.
While the law takes effect on January 1, the University will begin requiring pay and benefits information this fall to ensure that all of our student, faculty, and staff positions meet the requirement in 2025. There will be changes to our hiring system this fall to support this change followed by internal verification checks to ensure all campuses, colleges, and units meet the standard before the law takes effect.
Anyone who posts jobs at the University will need to include the budgeted pay range and general benefits information as of January 1, 2025. To bring the University into compliance with the law by January 1, OHR is:
- Creating “Pay & Benefits” templates for PeopleSoft job postings for different types of University jobs
- Hosting drop-in sessions in early October for anyone affected by this law, including hiring managers, HR professionals, and anyone else who enters job postings into PeopleSoft
- Launching HRMS training materials to support recruiters and hiring managers across all PEAK phases
- Adding a budgeted pay range field in the “Post a Position” TDX form for units and colleges that have undergone PEAK
- Reviewing job postings that are already live in PeopleSoft

Tracking Progress
In November, OHR will begin reviewing PeopleSoft job postings for compliance. We will share more information on the auditing process in October.
Please review any web pages that list job descriptions (not just links to jobs) and add pay and benefits information per the templates so that descriptions are up-to-date by the deadline of January 1.
