Pay History Ban

The 'Pay History Ban' is a critical provision of the Kenya Disability Rights Act that prohibits employers from inquiring about a job applicant's past salary history during the hiring process. This measure is designed to prevent the perpetuation of historical pay discrimination, particularly against persons with disabilities who may have experienced lower earnings due to systemic barriers, ensuring that new salary offers are based on the job's requirements and the applicant's qualifications, rather than previous wages.
