> if the employer requires the applicant's current salary on the application,

I never apply to jobs that ask these questions. It shows they're more concerned about holding you back than competing with the market.

Under California law, it is unlawful for an employer to ask a candidate for their salary history. Also, California employers must provide applicants with the pay scale for a position upon reasonable request.

This is very good to know, thanks.

It's also unlawful to ask about current or past compensation in New York.
