proceeding, hearing, or action or has inquired about, discussed, or disclosed his or her wages or those of
another employee.
This section shall not apply to any employee who has access to the wage information of other employees as a

shall discharge, formally discipline, or otherwise discriminate against an employee who discloses the amount
of his or her wages, salary, or paid benefits.
