There has been an increase in jurisdictions adopting “salary history bans,” like the salary history bans we have discussed in New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Cincinnati, Ohio. With recent legislation, the state of Maryland can soon be added to the list of jurisdictions with restrictions on an employer’s ability to ask about an applicant’s salary history.
Effective October 1, 2020, Maryland’s salary history ban:
An employer that violates Maryland’s new salary history ban may receive a letter compelling compliance from the Maryland Commissioner of Labor and Industry for a first violation, a fine of $300 for each instance of non-compliance for a second violation, and a fine of $600 for each instance of non-compliance for subsequent violations.
Verified Credentials will continue to monitor and attempt to provide updates regarding Maryland’s salary history ban as they become available. Remember, it’s never a bad idea to discuss these upcoming changes with your legal counsel to ensure your hiring complies with applicable law.
