> No, you'll be able to see that now by looking up their current employers pay bands for their role. Previously this wouldn't have been available, except anecdotally on Glassdoor.

Actually, no, this is completely wrong.

Previously you'd use services like QuickConfirm, etc, and get that person's exact comp. Employers and payroll processors colluded to share this information. The law now prohibits doing that.

And you may not even be able to look up the pay band, because only people in that role are allowed to request it from the employer. It's only if you can find a corresponding job listing that you can get the entire band as of that date.

As a result, the information asymmetry is adjusted from favoring employers to be more neutral; employers only have very approximate information on an employee's past comp; comparable to employees' knowledge of the compensation for the role into which they're applying.
