I understand the frustration this is born from, but find it hard to imagine a practical rule set that will actually do more good than harm.

1. To be meaningful at all, the legislation must only allow narrow ranges, e.g. 10%, so that employers can't put 30-90K in the description.

2. In addition, you would have to make the application very specific to a given position. If the employer can say "you don't qualify for L7 that you applied for, buuut... we could transfer your application to the L5 track", then we are back to where we started.

3. On the other hand, any super-rigid rule like this will hurt both employers and employees who are actually trying to fill a real position. It will hurt even more the few remaining companies that are looking for people and not just labeled cogs in the machine.

I want this to work, but it has the smell of compliance theater.
