Assuming this in America, I love how illegal this request is.

I've been asked illegal questions, like "what is your current salary" in job applications before. I like to respond by calling it out and leaving a link to a source. I've never gotten a response from those applications though...

Ok, where is said source?

Section #25

(Given both I and the company I was applying for were CA based at the time)

For the lazy:

  1. May a prospective employer ask me what I am currently paid or was paid in the past?

Effective January 1, 2018, Labor Code section 432.3 prohibits an employer from, either orally or in writing, personally or through an agent, asking any information concerning an applicant’s salary history information, which includes compensation as well as benefits. Furthermore, the law prohibits an employer from relying on an applicant’s salary history information as a factor in determining whether to offer employment at all or in determining what salary to offer.
