New York kicks off 2020 with a statewide salary history ban. Like other similar laws, the new regulation is intended to address wage differentials attributed to gender. Public and private employers alike are prohibited from asking applicants about prior salary history information (including compensation and benefits), or from seeking such information from other sources, verbally or in writing. Additionally, employers are prohibited from relying on salary history information as a factor in determining whether or not to interview a candidate, or what salary level to offer.

The Washington Legislature has enacted a number of laws over the past few months. Below is a summary of legislative updates and key court decisions that impact employers.

Salary History Inquiry Prohibition

Yet another statewide salary history ban! Like Illinois and Nevada, the Washington legislature amended the state’s Equal Pay Act to prohibit salary history inquiries in an effort to promote fair pay practices. As of July 28, 2019, employers may not seek salary history information from applicants, though employers are permitted to verify information voluntarily disclosed by the applicant, or after the employer has extended an offer of employment containing compensation.
