Scenario 3
Inez is selected to interview for a position at The Company. In the interview, the Hiring Manager asks:
"What salary range would you accept for this position?”
Question: Can an employer ask an applicant about their desired salary range?
Yes. An employer can ask an applicant about their expectations for wages, salary, benefits, or other compensation.
This means, for instance, that an employer may include a question on an application, in an interview, or as part of negotiations, about the salary range an applicant expects to be paid if they are selected for the job.
