Effective July 1, 2018, a new law prohibits Vermont employers from inquiring about or seeking an applicant's salary history information, including information on his or her current or past wages, salary, bonuses, or benefits. The law also bans employers from relying on an applicant's salary history information as a factor in determining whether to interview the applicant.
Notably, the law does not prohibit:
- After making an offer of employment that includes compensation, confirming or requesting an applicant's salary history information if the applicant previously disclosed the information voluntarily; or
- Inquiring about an applicant's salary expectations or requirements.
