Jackson Lewis: New York Toughens Equal Pay Laws | Practical Law

This Law Firm Publication by Jackson Lewis, P.C. discusses two executive orders recently signed by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Executive Order 162 requires state contractors and subcontractors to regularly submit job title and salary information to state contracting agencies. The requirement applies to state contracts issued and executed on or after July 1, 2017, and the submissions are due quarterly for all prime contracts exceeding $25,000 and monthly for those exceeding $100,000. Executive Order 161 prohibits state agencies from asking applicants to disclose their current or prior salary before the agency makes a conditional employment offer. The executive order also prohibits agencies from relying on an applicant's prior salary information if they already possess it.
