The District of Columbia has passed the Wage Transparency Act of 2014. The Act prohibits all private employers within the District from implementing workplace policies that forbid employees from discussing their wages with coworkers. The Act echoes President Barack Obama’s Executive Order 13665, mandating that federal contractors allow employees to discuss their wages. After a period of congressional review, D.C.’s Wage Transparency Act took effect on March 11, 2015.
