Representing Alexandria, Arlington, and Fairfax

Employment; wage inquiries, civil penalty (HB 326)

Legislative Action Summary

Bans employers from asking for the salary history of job applicants. People should be paid based on their value to an employer, not based on their salaries from prior jobs. Salary history questions have been reported as a leading cause of the still-existing pay gulf between men and women, and between whites and people of color.
