MN SF4192

Prohibits employers, employment agencies, and labor organizations from inquiring about, considering, or requiring disclosure of an applicant's pay history for purposes of determining compensation.

Establishes a rebuttable presumption that using an applicant's pay history to determine future wages constitutes an unfair discriminatory employment practice under Minnesota Statutes section 363A.08.

Exception allows consideration of pay history if it is a matter of public record under federal or state law, unless the employer intentionally sought public records specifically to obtain the applicant's pay history.

Permits applicants to voluntarily disclose their pay history without prompting for wage negotiation purposes, and allows employers to consider such voluntary disclosures to offer higher wages than initially proposed.

Effective January 1, 2022, with delayed implementation until after January 1, 2022 for employment covered by collective bargaining agreements.
