North Carolina Public Employers May No Longer Ask About Salary History


North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper recently signed an executive order that bans public employers from asking salary history questions in the hiring process.  The order goes further in directing public employers to also avoid relying on previously obtained salary history information to determine an applicant’s salary.  The North Carolina salary history ban for public employers is effective immediately.  Will private employers be next?
