Like Illinois, New Jersey recently jumped into the pool of states implementing legislation banning salary history inquiries. Beginning January 1, 2020, Bill A1094 will prohibit employers from inquiring into an applicant’s prior salary history (including wages, salary, or benefits), or screen applicants for a job based on a minimum or maximum salary threshold, except under certain circumstances.
