Looking for advice on this situation. Interviewer Asked My Current Salary Despite State Ban - What Now? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated ngl.

Details: I'm in a situation where I need to understand my legal options. Has anyone dealt with something similar?

I went through something similar. The key is to act quickly — statutes of limitation are shorter than you think. My attorney took it on contingency and we settled for a decent amount.

From an HR perspective, this is exactly the kind of situation that triggers EEOC complaints. Most companies will settle to avoid the investigation costs.

This sounds like a clear violation. Document everything and file with the appropriate agency. In California, you have strong protections under the Labor Code.

Don't resign — that weakens your leverage. Let them fire you if it comes to that. A wrongful termination claim is stronger than a constructive dismissal claim.
