I wouldn’t deal with anybody who asked about my salary history.
I’ve heard that question - I don’t answer. My salary is proprietary information between my company and me.
I’ve said, “Let’s focus on what I can bring to the table now and how I can advance your company’s goals.” That has been sufficient to move the conversation on.
I had one HR rep tell me that I had to give her an answer or “the computer” would not let her move on to the next question screen. I thanked her for her time and wished her luck in finding another candidate who would be a good fit.
makes it unlawful for those involved in the hiring process to inquire about what an applicant currently makes
= = =
How about not revealing the salary for the interviewed job?
If anything, this law will DEPRESS wages, not raise them.
Now, and employer will start the job applicant at the lowest wage that he/she will accept and that will lower wages across the board, at least in NYC.
Like every liberal idea, they have the opposite effect of what they intended.................
Take a false Premise, add some Propaganda and a dose of fake Outrage, mix them together and you have the foundation of what a Liberal Utopia will eventually look like.
Rod Serling had this kind of stuff figured out in the 1960’s.
Should be a national law.
Closer and closer to total government control over employment, a fundamental aspect of communism.
We’ll never again have cradle to grave jobs. For most people now 3 to 5 years is considered a long termer. Most companies want you gone within those years.
The law doesn't prohibit excelling applicants from volunteering previous salary information.
If the applicant is earning noticeably below the industry average, that may be an indicator that their current boss doesnt have the same glowing evaluation of their performance as is portrayed on the applicants resume.
A weak argument, as earning noticeably below the industry average may be an indicator of a great many things unrelated to performance (e.g., negotiating skills, willingness to leave an underpaying employer).
Once the employer has identified an applicant they would like to hire, theres no point in forcing them to take more money than they are willing to accept.
"Forcing" them?! SMH.
Regards,
I don’t really care if a prospective employer asks. I can either refuse or tell them. It has no bearing on how much $ I require to work for the new employer.
