The new laws update the act’s wage and salary disclosure requirements. They also establish guidelines for when an employer can require a valid driver’s license as a condition of employment or include a statement in a job posting that an applicant must have a valid driver’s license.
The amendments were included in Substitute Senate Bill 5408 and Substitute Senate Bill 5501 during the 2025 legislative session.
As a result, the Employment Standards Program is defining terms and requirements and clarifying applicability, enforcement, and penalties through the rulemaking process to reflect statutory changes.

Tips for Your Remote Installer Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote installer openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your skills and apply directly. Applying within the first few days of a posting going live puts you ahead of the bulk of applicants.
Document your installations as you go
Remote employers can't watch you work, so a portfolio of past installations, including photos, configuration notes, or written runbooks, gives hiring managers concrete proof of your technical competence and your ability to produce clear documentation independently.
Sharpen your async troubleshooting communication
Remote installer roles depend heavily on written communication. Practice explaining technical steps clearly in writing, the way you would over email or a ticketing system, because remote employers screen for candidates who can guide end users without back-and-forth phone calls.
Highlight remote-ready tools on your application
Call out your experience with remote desktop software, video conferencing platforms, and ticketing systems directly on your application. Remote employers want to see that you already know how distributed installation and support workflows operate before your first day.
Remote Installer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote installer job?
Remote installer roles go to candidates who can diagnose, configure, and troubleshoot independently without on-site supervision. Companies hiring installers remotely look for strong written communication, comfort with async workflows, and the ability to guide end users through installation steps over video or chat. Certifications in relevant hardware or software platforms, plus a portfolio of completed installations, give your application a clear edge.
Which companies hire remote installers?
Employers currently hiring remote installers include Convergint, BGIS, and STERIS, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Remote installer roles are most common at remote-first technology companies, distributed managed service providers, and telecommunications firms that deploy and support installations across multiple locations without a centralized field team.
Can you get a remote installer job with no experience?
Yes, but entry-level remote installer roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work independently from day one without in-person oversight. Your best paths in are through home lab projects, open-source contributions, or technical certifications you can point to during screening. Companies that hire entry-level remote installers typically want to see documented proof you can follow technical procedures and communicate clearly in writing.
Do you need a degree for remote installer jobs?
Not always. Remote employers hiring installers weigh hands-on technical skills, vendor certifications, and a demonstrable history of completed installations more heavily than a formal degree. Certifications from manufacturers or industry bodies often carry more weight than a general diploma, especially when you can show real results in a portfolio or during a technical screening.
Which industries hire the most remote installers?
Most remote installer openings sit in Technology & Software, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. These sectors rely on distributed teams that install, configure, and support systems across multiple client sites without requiring installers to be physically co-located with a central office.
