Employment Law: Employee Compensation Disclosure Rules

by | Apr 30, 2019 | DC Employment Law, Maryland Employment Law

The United States Department of Labor has a regulation that prohibits a federal contractor from discriminating against an applicant for employment or discharging an employee because the applicant or employee has inquired about, discussed, or disclosed his or her own pay or the pay of another employee or applicant.

However, employees who have access to the compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of their essential job functions cannot disclose the pay of other employees or applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to compensation information, unless the disclosure is (a) in response to a formal complaint or charge, (b) in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or (c) consistent with the contractor’s legal duty to furnish information.
