Labor: fair employment practices; certain information about a job applicant's compensation history and credit history; prohibit an employer from seeking or asking about. Amends sec. 13a of 1978 PA 390 (MCL 408.483a).
This bill prohibits Michigan employers from asking job applicants about their past wages, fringe benefits, credit scores, or credit history. It also bans employers from requiring employees to sign waivers that prevent them from sharing their salary information or from punishing workers who disclose their pay. By removing these restrictions, the legislation aims to prevent discrimination based on compensation history and financial records during the hiring process. The changes directly affect both current and prospective employees by limiting the types of questions employers can ask regarding financial details.
