Effective 10/1/20: This law requires an employer to provide, on request by an applicant for employment, the wage range for the position for which the applicant applied. The bill prohibits an employer from seeking wage history information for an applicant, or from screening or considering an applicant for employment or determining an applicant’s wages based on the applicant’s wage history.
However, an applicant is not prohibited from voluntarily sharing wage history information with an employer. An employer may not retaliate against or refuse to interview, hire, or employ an applicant because the applicant did not provide wage history or requested the wage range.
The law includes civil penalties for employers who violate specified provisions multiple times.
