Pay Equity: Banning Salary History Questions
New rules aim to ensure fair pay by prohibiting employers from asking about job applicants' past salaries. This helps set wages based on the job's value, not prior earnings. Employers also cannot punish employees for discussing their pay.
Key points
Employers cannot ask about your past salary or use it to determine your new pay.
You can voluntarily share your past salary, but only after receiving a job offer with a proposed wage, if you want to negotiate for higher pay.
Employers cannot fire or penalize you for opposing these rules or discussing your wages.
Employers violating these rules face financial penalties and must pay damages to affected employees.
