On July 10, 2019, Governor Cuomo signed into law bills A. 5308-B and S. 6549 (the “State Law”) that amends New York State’s Labor law to prohibit, statewide, employers from inquiring about or relying on the salary history of a job applicant or current employee in determining whether to offer employment to an individual or in determining the compensation of an individual. The State Law follows and supplements similar laws previously passed in New York City, Albany County, Suffolk County, and Westchester County, of New York State, and will go into effect on January 6, 2020.
