The seven-page lawsuit was filed by a Washington resident who accuses the food, facilities and uniform services company of systematically failing to comply with Washington’s Wage Transparency Law, which requires employers to disclose in every job posting the wage scale or salary range and a general description of all benefits and other compensation to be offered to the hired applicant.

The plaintiff, who applied for a position with Aramark in November 2023, claims the company’s job postings fall short of the statutory compensation disclosure requirements. According to the suit, the job opening the woman applied for simply stated with regard to wages, “Pay: From $16.50 per hour.”

“There was and is no range of possible salaries stated, nor was or is there any wage scale of what employees earn included in the job postings,” the case contends.

As a result of Aramark’s allegedly noncompliant job postings, applicants like the plaintiff are unable to accurately evaluate a position’s pay or compare its compensation rate to other available openings in the job market, the complaint charges.

The Aramark lawsuit looks to represent anyone who, since January 1, 2023, applied for a job opening in Washington with the company where the job posting did not disclose the position’s wage scale or salary range.
