What’s new?
Equal Pay for Equal Work Protections for Applicants and Employees
- An employer must, upon request, provide a job applicant with the wage range for the position for which the applicant applied.
- An employer may not refuse to interview or hire an applicant because the applicant refused to provide wage history information or requested the wage range for the position.
- An employer may not rely on wage history in screening or considering an applicant for employment or in determining the wages for the applicant.
- An employer may not take adverse action against an employee for inquiring about the employee’s wages.
Earned Sick and Safe Leave Expanded
- The “family members” for whom an employee may use earned sick leave to provide care has been expanded to include: the legal guardian or ward of the employee or the employee’s spouse, or an individual who acted as a parent or stood in loco parentis to the employee or the employee’s spouse when the employee or the employee’s spouse was a minor.
Who must post?
- All employers must post conspicuously, in each place of employment, a copy of the Equal Pay for Equal Work Law. (Lab. & Emp. Art., § 3-306)
- Posting the Maryland Department of Labor’s Earned Sick and Safe Leave notice complies with the requirement that all employers notify employees of their rights and protections under the law. (Lab. & Emp. Art., § 3-1306)
