Massachusetts Pay Transparency Training | The Public Wage Register

Blend Interactive Content

Massachusetts requires pay ranges in job postings and is the first US state to publish aggregate wage data on a public Pay Equity Register. This interactive course provides practical, scenario-based training to help HR and reward teams understand their responsibilities and confidently manage compliance.

Rather than learning through slides alone, you'll take part in a realistic scenario where your decisions influence the outcome. Working through an Attorney General review of postings missing pay ranges while the annual EEO-1 wage report is also due, you'll audit the adverts, decide how to respond, weigh the privileged self-evaluation defence, and manage the evidence that will appear on the public register.

During this course, you'll learn how to:

• Post job adverts with a compliant pay range under the Frances Perkins Act
• Prepare and file the annual EEO-1 wage data report
• Understand how aggregate wage data appears on the public register
• Respond to an Attorney General review within the response window
• Use the Equal Pay Act privileged self-evaluation defence correctly
• Manage a deadline collision between the review and the statutory filing

Course features:

• Immersive, decision-based learning with multiple possible outcomes
• Realistic case files, supporting documents and practical activities
• Voiced narration and realistic Attorney General case files
• Interactive pay-range and wage-reporting compliance exercises
• Approximately 1 hour of self-paced online learning
• Developed by Blend Training and reviewed by qualified US employment law professionals
