Public Act 26-12. Every Connecticut employer, no size threshold, no grace period. The wage range goes in the posting itself — not on request, not at offer — and so does a general description of the benefits. That second half is the one nearly everybody has missed.
On the face of the advertisement. Not "competitive." Not "depending on experience." Not "we'll discuss it on the call." A number, or a range with two ends. Until now, Connecticut only required sharing the range when a candidate asked, or by the time of an offer — from 1 October it lives in the ad itself.
Health insurance, retirement, fringe benefits, paid leave — anything you offer that isn't wages. General is the operative word: you are not publishing a plan document, you are telling a candidate what they get. One sentence does it.
Paste the job ad exactly as it appears on Indeed, on your careers page, or in the window. This runs entirely in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere, and nothing is stored.
"If you leave inside a year, you repay the cost of your training." "The signing bonus is returnable." Connecticut's ban on employment promissory notes used to start at twenty-five employees. From 1 October it applies to everyone. If that clause is in your offer letter, take it out — having it is worse than not having it.
P.A. 26-12At the start of employment, in writing. Existing employees have to receive it by 29 January 2027, and any employee who tells you about a disability gets it within ten days. The Labor Commissioner is producing a poster that satisfies it — so this one costs you a piece of paper and a habit.
P.A. 26-12The floor rises 54¢. And the eleven-employee threshold on paid sick leave disappears entirely — if you have been under it, this is the year that ends. Both were announced early enough that you can price a menu and write a policy this fall instead of meeting them in a January payroll report. The current numbers — minimum, tipped, bartender, and the teen rate — are on The Wage Check.

The Opening is a Concierge tool that takes one hire from "we need somebody" to a fully onboarded ninety-day employee — and it will not render a job ad without a wage range and a benefits line, because Connecticut will not accept one. It writes the interview questions from the job itself, the offer letter from the posting, and the onboarding checklist from your size and your industry. Alongside a handbook builder that knows Connecticut's rules, the wage tools, ready-to-use policies, and a live hour with Erin every month.
