Is an employer allowed to ask for salary history in Ontario? As a requirement for interviewing with a company, I was asked to provide my salary history for the past 10 years and I'd have to consent to a verification of those $ numbers (to make sure they're not made up) upon acceptance of an offer. Is this not prohibited per the Pay Transparency Act?
Yes, as per the Pay Transparency Act, Ontario employers are prohibited about asking candidates about past compensation.
