New York Passes Law to Fine Employers for Fake 'Ghost Job' Postings
HR Dive·Sunday, 14 June 2026
New York has passed bill S8877, which would fine employers and third-party job platforms if their job postings do not include a timeframe for when the role is expected to be filled. The law targets so-called ghost jobs — listings that are not actively being hired for. Both employers and platforms that host such listings would face steep penalties.
Why It Matters
Ghost job postings waste the time of millions of job seekers who apply and never hear back. This law could push other states and countries to take similar action, raising the standard for honest hiring.
