That’s illegal? The income question was on every single application I filled out when I was younger. When did it become illegal?

It is in CA, which is where both I and the company I was applying for were based at the time

Hmm, I lived in California for a long time and companies definitely asked on a regular basis. Do you know when it was made illegal?

According to the link I posted in a different reply in this thread, at least since 2018. But also just because something is illegal doesn’t mean companies won’t do it.

“How much money are you looking for in this role” is very common. “How much are you making right now” is not allowed.

This depends entirely on where you are. This article is from last year, so it could have changed since then, but there is no federal prohibition on requesting your current pay in an interview, @AwkwardLookMonkeyPuppet@lemmy.world

Love the swing states with preemptive laws on the books to prevent progress

California definitely used to have a shit load of companies asking for salary history. Idk if the law has changed, or if it’s just not enforced.

Didn’t expect my state on here. It’s a routine question in interviews
