Philadelphia’s Salary History Inquiry Ban Violates the First Amendment, Federal Court Rules

06/06/18

A federal district court in Philadelphia has ruled in Chamber of Commerce of Greater Philadelphia v. City of Philadelphia, No. 17-1548 (E.D. Pa. Apr. 30, 2018) that Philadelphia’s ban on salary history inquiries violates the First Amendment. The court, however, did not strike down the other major portion of the law, which prohibits employers from relying on salary history to set compensation. That piece of the law remains intact. The decision will likely have national implications as Philadelphia's law is similar to others around the country, including laws in California and New York City.
