What Questions Can I Ask During an Interview?

Job interview questions are the source of many complaints against companies for discrimination.  Under Federal law, employers generally cannot discriminate against employees on the basis of:

• Race
• Sex
• Pregnancy
• Religion
• National origin
• Disability (physical or mental)
• Age (for workers over 40)
• Military service or affiliation
• Bankruptcy or bad debts
• Genetic information
• Citizenship status

There are certain job interview questions that cannot be asked during an interview and others that can legally be asked. Murdock Law, S.C. has prepared a cheat sheet for human resource professionals to keep them on the right side of the law.
