The Washington Legislature has enacted a number of laws over the past few months.  Below is a summary of legislative updates and key court decisions that impact employers.

Salary History Inquiry Prohibition

Yet another statewide salary history ban! Like Illinois and Nevada, the Washington legislature amended the state’s Equal Pay Act to prohibit salary history inquiries in an effort to promote fair pay practices.  As of July 28, 2019, employers may not seek salary history information from applicants, though employers are permitted to verify information voluntarily disclosed by the applicant, or after the employer has extended an offer of employment containing compensation.
