Definitions (3)
As defined in the proposed Virginia Senate Bill 1132, 'Wage or salary history' refers specifically to the compensation, whether hourly wages or a fixed salary, that a prospective employee received from their current or any prior employer. This definition is critical as the bill aimed to prohibit employers from inquiring about or relying on this information during the hiring process to prevent perpetuating past pay inequities. The intent was to ensure that an individual's future earning potential is based on the merits of the new position and their qualifications, rather than being anchored to potentially discriminatory past compensation structures.
