Nowhere in US law does it say your employer has to keep any of that information private.
- ventana 2mo agoSure, not all good laws are given. Must take a good public campaign or maybe a big leak for the law like that to appear. I would think California will be one of the first states to adopt a law like that, similar to how they now forbid to ask about your current salary when interviewing you for a job [1].

- lotsofpulp 2mo agoI am a fan of Norways laws to make all tax returns public. Transparency is the best disinfectant. Plus, now that job listings have to show pay range in many states (including California), it’s not too difficult to now figure out a likely annual payrate for someone.
- b112 2mo agoReally? Anf if they took your paystubs, and posted them online? No problems? Nary a one? Why is Equifax special?
- jimz 2mo agoBecause they kind of did what you described and the reason the data never surfaced is either because it's too valuable or too worthless
- pjc50 2mo agoTrue. It's very funny how many employers will prevent employees discussing pay and then leak all the pay information to the panopticon.
