Employers in California are no longer allowed to ask about your salary history

The measure is designed to reduce the gender pay gap.
quote:
Starting in January 2018, employers will no longer be able to ask potential employees about their wages or benefits at their current or previous jobs. Under the Salary Privacy Bill, AB 168, signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown, doing so will be against the law.
Under the law, job applicants are permitted to volunteer information about their prior pay and/or benefits, and employers can consider this in their job offer. However, employers cannot rely on prior salary, by itself, to justify a pay disparity. Applicants may also ask employers for a salary range for the position that they are seeking.

Yes, they can’t ask though.

Nothing a Facebook search or tweet probably couldn’t find out. I’m sure they are always bitching about their pay in that state.

I don’t see a huge issue with this. I think it generally helps people

The only people it helps are the ones that aren't really worth a shite.

IT doesn’t matter anyways. They have a chart and already know what some groveling W2 makes.

I don't have a problem with this. Employers always ask salary expectations anyways.

If you are a business owner, you should know what your competitor is doing, even in terms of paying their employees.
Plus with Glassdoor and Indeed these days, information is easier to obtain for medium to larger size companies.

Um, what if it costs more to poach employee A than it does to poach Employee B? That is the textbook case of justification for paying employee A more.

It helps people who are bad at negotiation and those who are bad at determining their worth.
I get stuck between my company and employees pretty often when I have to ask about a person's salary history. I get a little torn on it. For instance, when I go out to hire I get a range from my bosses. Say they want to put someone in the 60k-70k range. If I get a candidate that i know is in that range(valuewise) but the candidates salary history gives an opportunity to pay them less than 60k then they'll have me take it. Even if I believe that person is worth 65k easily. So the company gets a discounted rate. Ok fine. However these people eventually figure out their underpaid and I have to deal with it.
Long story short: If I just had to offer them what I think they're worth then it'd be easier on me. I'd also probably retain employees a little better if the company didn't take this opportunity to be cheap.

A salary should be based off an applicant’s experience and skills for the job they would be doing. Their previous job salary shouldn’t impact the new job.

Did people honestly tell the truth anyways?
Posted on 1/7/18 at 11:20 am to Will Cover
I don’t think I have ever been asked what I made before, just my salary expectations, which should really tell you all you need to know
With that said, pretty dumb bill that will accomplish nothing

It’s really no big deal. Previous salary shouldn’t matter anyway. The only numbers that matter are company budget, and candidate need.
