Mayor De Blasio Signs Legislation Banning NYC Employers From Asking Job Applicants About Compensation History
May 10, 2017

In an April 11 blog post, we explained a piece of legislation that will soon ban nearly all New York City employers from (1) asking job applicants about their compensation history and (2) relying on a job applicant’s compensation history when making a job offer or negotiating an employment contract. At the time we reported on that legislation, Mayor De Blasio had not yet signed it. New York City employers should be aware that Mayor de Blasio has now signed that legislation into law and it will take full effect on October 31, 2017.
