wage disclosure; employee rights

HB 2910, the "Wage Antidiscrimination Act," protects Arizona employees by banning employers from prohibiting wage discussions or requiring employees to sign agreements that limit pay transparency. It prohibits employers from asking about a job applicant's prior salary before making an offer and prevents retaliation against employees who discuss pay or assert their rights. The law updates equal pay protections to bar employers from using past salary history as a defense in discrimination claims, ensuring pay differences are based on factors like seniority or job duties - not gender. Employees can file civil lawsuits for violations, seeking remedies like back pay, reinstatement, or removal of negative employment records.
