Employers will have one more questions that they are
prohibited from asking potential employees:
What is your previous salary history?
|
| |
|
Many
states are enacting laws that prohibits
an employer from asking potential employees about their
salary history |
| |
|
These laws are aimed at bridging the pay gap between male
and female employees and also to not let an employee's past
compensation to be an obstacle to higher future compensation
in a new job.
|
| |
|
Many employers used an employee's previous compensation to
set their starting pay in the new job.
Hence, once the question of prior compensation
becomes prohibitive employees will be able to command better
compensation in their new position.
|
| |
|
Some states have already passed laws that are in effect
while others have laws that are making its way through the
legislature.
|
| |
|
AT the federal government level there are no laws in place
that mandates this.
|
|
|
However, there is a
new law making its way through the
congress that will make this practice mandatory for all
businesses in the U.S. |
