Washington State Supreme Court Broadly Defines Job Applicants Covered by Pay Transparency Law
In a closely watched decision on September 4, 2025, the Washington State Supreme Court ruled that job applicants can sue for violations of the state’s pay transparency law without needing to prove they applied for the job in good faith or were otherwise “bona fide” applicants. In Branson v. Washington Fine Wine & Spirits, plaintiffs brought a class action against a retailer that did not disclose pay information in job postings.
