Pretty much the title, but I have a couple questions.
- Why do they want this information? How can they benefit from having it?
- Has anyone else seen this before? Is it an established or upcoming hiring practice, or a one-off?
- Is it legal to require this (I'm in PA, employer's based in DC)? It's not stipulated in the contract that's already been signed, only requested via email with hr.
As a new employee, I have zero leverage, so even asking them why they're requesting it is tenuous. Any constructive comments?
