Earlier this month, the New Jersey State Assembly reviewed Assembly Bill 4119 (\u201cA-4119\u201d), which would amend the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination to prohibit employers from seeking compensation history from prospective employees. The purpose of A-4119 is \u201cto strengthen protections against employment discrimination and thereby promote equal pay for women[.]\u201d<\/p>\n

Specifically, A-4119 provides that an employer may not seek the salary history of a prospective employee until an offer of employment is extended to the candidate. The Bill further prohibits an employer from requiring an employee to disclose information about either his or her own wages, including benefits and other compensation, as well as the wages of any other employee. Additionally, A-4119 provides that an employer may not require that a prospective employee\u2019s wage or salary history meet any minimum or maximum criteria as a condition of being interviewed or as a condition of being considered for an offer of employment. Under A-4199, an employer is prohibited from taking any retaliatory action against an employee or candidate based upon compensation history or any employee\u2019s opposition to a request for salary information.<\/p>\n

The Bill, however, does not prohibit prospective employees from volunteering compensation history provided that the disclosure is not coerced by the employer. An employer may only confirm or permit a candidate to confirm compensation history after making an offer of employment.<\/p>\n
