The spread of state and local laws affecting employment may be one of HR’s biggest challenges — if only because keeping tracking of various statutes can feel downright impossible, especially on evolving topics.
Below, the HR Dive team gathered up our five (as of now) state and local law trackers based on topics gaining traction. For example, salary history bans — covered in one of our longest-running trackers — took off in the late 2010s. Today, 22 states ban employers from asking about an applicant’s pay history at some point in the hiring process.
Other hot topics are also represented, including AI in hiring laws and predictive scheduling ordinances. Read on — and don’t be afraid to bookmark for later.
