Training Overview

Do you ask illegal employment application questions? Learn the current laws banning information.

As you update your employment application procedures, websites, and forms for 2022, you must consider current legal restrictions prohibiting you from including some questions. From inquiring about COVID-19 vaccination status to criminal histories, you need to know what you can ask and what you cannot.

Laws have been springing up in many different jurisdictions requiring employers to “ban the box,” meaning to stop including employment application questions about prior criminal history. Some contend these questions exclude qualified applicants, while others feel they are essential to maintain workplace security.
