Unfortunately there are employers in NYC who do call previous employers to verify salary. Remember that most white-collar employees are in much less demand than developers and have to deal with far more employer bullshit.
- richrichardsson 10y agoHow can it be legal for an employer to disclose a specific employees salary to a third party?
- pixl97 10y agoIs there any express reason it is illegal?
- baddox 10y agoIt would be odd if that were illegal. There are some well-known "radical transparency" startups that publicly post all employees' salaries.
- heywire 10y agoThis has me thinking, if that is legal, what is to stop any old random person who wants to know what you make from calling your employer posing as a recruiter/hiring manager looking for current salary?
- emh68 10y agoBefore you're hired? If I found out that a prospective employer was calling my current employer, I would decline to continue interviewing and tell them exactly why.
- ska 10y agoI've had prospective employers call for reference/jobs description check and ask this question. It's really easy to not answer, or to answer "market rates".
