united-states discrimination georgia
Does it violate any federal or state discriminatory laws if prospect employer bases their offer on person&#39;s current salary?
<p>There are federal discriminatory laws that prevent companies from basing their hiring decisions on gender, religion, race, etc.</p>

<p>If prospective employer bases their decision on what a prospect employee is currently making, does this constitute discrimination?</p>

<p>Does asking a prospect employee for his/her current salary before extending an offer violate any laws?</p>

<p>Basing an employment decision on current salary is discrimination, just as it is discrimination to base a employment decision on the basis of education level, work experience, technical competence, attitude during an interview, and which applicant applied first. Such discrimination is legal. Asking a person's salary violates no law.</p>
