CBS O&O Breaking the Law (Patreon)

The law has been in effect for over a year now, but at least one CBS O&O is violating that very law.

On October 1, 2024, Maryland's Wage Range Transparency Act went into effect.

The law requires employers with at least one employee to include the salary range and a general description of benefits and other compensation in job postings for positions performed, in part, in the state.

Employers must also keep records for three years and can be fined for non-compliance. 

Key Requirements of the law:

• Salary Range: Include the minimum and maximum hourly rate or salary for the position.

• Benefits: Provide a general description of the benefits offered.

• Other Compensation: Disclose any other compensation, such as bonuses or equity.

CBS O&O WJZ in Baltimore part ways with their Operations Manager Erik Lee.

The station has now posted Lee's old job on the Paramount website. What CBS didn't post is how much the job pays, which is required by law in the state of Maryland.

FTVLive has seen many media companies that have tried to skirt the salary posting laws across the country.

But, to see an O&O just thumb their nose at the law, does make you wonder what else are they doing that's shady?

Here is the posting, we'll see how long it takes for CBS to follow the law, if they do that at all.
