GetHired Product Change Notice: Applicant Tracking, Hiring and Onboarding

Salary History fields in onboarding forms have been disabled

GetHired continually strives to assist our valued partners in complying with state and federal laws. In recent years, many states and localities have enacted legislation or regulations prohibiting employers from asking prospective as well as hired employees about their salary history. As of the time of this message, eighteen states and twenty-one localities have enacted these types of rules and most apply even if providing the past salary information is voluntary – such as an “optional” field in an application.
 
To offer you the best solution possible, we think it makes sense to take the most conservative approach, and have therefore elected to disable any field in the optional employment history employee onboarding forms that ask for an individual’s past salary information. This change will take effect on May 16, 2020. If you feel enabling this field is legal in your client’s jurisdiction, after seeking your legal counsel we encourage you to have an authorized representative of your business contact our customer support department here: 800-366-9729, ext. 1169 and ask for this feature to be re-enabled.
 
For salary history data collected before this change, the underlying data will be masked and no longer available at the client level but kept in our database for history and audit compliance only.
 
This message is not meant to be legal advice and these changes merely represent our response to requests from our user base and our commitment to provide the most compliant solutions possible. We welcome any questions or comments you have directed to the contact information above.
