On December 8, 2016, the Philadelphia City Council passed a Wage Equity Bill that prohibits employers from asking about a prospective employee’s wage and fringe benefits history.1 The Bill has been publicly supported by Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney’s Office, but has not yet been signed it into law. If signed, the Bill will become effective 120 days later.
