The Washington Job Application has been updated to be in compliance with a new law banning employers from asking about salary history. Therefore, the salary history question has been removed from the Job Application Smart App for customers in Washington.
On May 9, 2019, Washington Governor Jay Inslee signed the Washington Equal Pay and Opportunities Act, which prohibit employers from using a job application that inquires about an applicant’s salary or wage history.
Under this new law, employers with 15 or more employees must provide employees the minimum wage or salary range for the position upon request after an initial offer for the position has been made. Washington's ban on salary history takes effect on July 27, 2019.
In order to make sure our customers are in full compliance, we recommend that all current paper job applications should be discarded, and new, updated versions printed from the Resources tab in the app.
