Asking Job Applicants About Salary History Could Soon Be Banned In Montgomery County Government

Applicants for Montgomery County government jobs will no longer face questions about their past earnings, if new legislation passed unanimously by the county council becomes law.

Tuesday morning, all nine council members approved a bill introduced by Council member Evan Glass called the “Pay Equity” act. The bill has received an endorsement from Democratic County Executive Marc Elrich, who is expected to sign it.
