ADMT Law Round-Up: What Employers Need to Know About Recent ADMT Laws
Several U.S. states have passed or are enforcing laws that regulate how employers use automated decision-making tools in hiring, promotion, discipline, and termination. These rules typically require companies to notify workers or job applicants when such technology is used to make consequential decisions about them.
Why this matters: If a machine helped decide whether you got the job, got promoted, or got fired, you probably have a right to know that. Most workers do not know automated tools are in the loop at all. These state laws are trying to fix that. The notice requirements are a start, but the harder question is what workers can actually do once they find out. Transparency without any real ability to challenge a decision is thin protection.
