Now that's going to create one hell of a mess. Someone didn't think that through.
It's one thing for employers to voluntarily provide a good faith range, which some will, but another when they expose themselves to a gender discrimination lawsuit by being wrong.
Also, everybody is going to insist on max(range).
This law seems to create a lot of legal landmines that I don't think will be beneficial. High earners can volunteer their salary anyway.
My father-in-law was just embezzled by his accountant. It's mostly been spent, so he will get pennies in the dollar back. (I'm not well versed in legal matters...I had no idea crime could be so profitable, even after you get caught.)
It sucks that he got screwed over, but it'll suck more if the next guy has the same experience.
There must be some kinds of questions employers can be permitted to ask to help this?
