S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 2040 2017-2018 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y January 17, 2017 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. CRESPO, MORELLE, SEPULVEDA, ARROYO, GLICK, JAFFEE, GALEF, HOOPER, SIMON, RIVERA, MONTESANO, JOYNER, LIFTON, HEVE- SI, ROSENTHAL, McDONOUGH, GOTTFRIED, M. G. MILLER -- read once and referred to the Committee on Governmental Operations AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to prohibiting employers from seeking salary history from prospective employees THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds that New York should lead the nation in preventing wage discrimination. The wage gap between men and women is one of the oldest and most persistent effects of inequality between the sexes in the United States. The 1963 Equal Pay Act and the 1964 Civil Rights Act in the United States established the legal right to equal pay for equal work and equal opportunity. Yet half a century later, women are still subjected to wage gaps and paid less then men. The concept of comparable worth attacks the problem of gender-based wage discrimination by mandating that jobs characterized by similar levels of education, skill, effort, responsibilities, and working condi- tions be compensated at similar wage levels regardless of the gender of the worker holding the job. The goal of pay equity is to raise the wages for undervalued jobs held predominantly by women. Today, women make only 77 cents per every dollar earned by a man for a comparable job, a gender wage gap of 23 percent. This translates into thousands of dollars of lost wages each year for each female worker, money that helps them feed their families, save for a college education and afford decent and safe housing. Pay disparities affect women of all ages, races, and education levels, but are more pronounced for women of color. Minority women make as little as 54 cents per dollar for a comparable job held by a man. EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
