A bill has been signed into law by Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy that will restrict employees from inquiring about applicants’ salary history during the hiring process. The law, which will take effect Jan. 1, 2019, will permit employers to inquire about “other elements of a prospective employee’s compensation structure, as long as such employer does not inquire about the value of the elements of such compensation structure.” In addition, the law doesn’t apply to any actions taken by an employer or its agent pursuant to any federal or state law that authorizes the disclosure or verification of salary history for employment purposes.
