The times... they are a-changing to quote lyricist Bob Dylan. In this case, we're talking about the legislation and equalization of fair pay for everyone. This is going to be a game changer in 2018 for employers in the states which will pass legislation to eliminate salary history inquiries.  

The legislation of this law is going to vary from state to state and in some cases city to city, as with San Francisco and New York City. This means that compliance has gotten more intense and complex.
