HN is not payed for these posts. Who’s Hiring posts are like all others: anyone can comment, and no one on HN ever pays the site operator for the right to post.
And Who's Hiring posts are not covered by this law or requirement.
Most jobs have official job postings. It's those that need to carry the salary requirement.
If I'm telling a friend, Hey, there's an opening in my company, you wanna apply, I am not required to tell him the salary range. However, when I point him out to the job application page where he can get more official information on it and can apply for it, that should carry this information, or at least link to it.
> Who's Hiring posts are not covered by this law or requirement.
I don’t think that‘s generally true.
“Any advertisement for a job, promotion, or transfer opportunity that would be performed in New York City is covered by the new law. An ‘advertisement’ is a written description of an available job, promotion, or transfer opportunity that is publicized to a pool of potential applicants. Such advertisements are covered regardless of the medium in which they are disseminated. Covered listings include postings on internal bulletin boards, internet advertisements, printed flyers distributed at job fairs, and newspaper advertisements.” [0]

What is your reasoning for this? I don’t see anything in the text of the law [1] about “official job postings.”
> If I'm telling a friend, Hey, there's an opening in my company, you wanna apply, I am not required to tell him the salary range.
This at least is correct, because that case is not “a written description [...] that is publicized to a pool of potential applicants.”
