Legal Question in Employment Law in Arizona

Thank you for your inquiry. More than likely, it would be legal to make workers' compensation claims a factor in hiring. It will depend, though, on whether the injury that caused the applicant to file te claim qualifies as a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act. If it does, that might be a problem.

In a situation as sensitive as this, you might want to consult an employment attorney. I would be willing to meet with you at no charge to discuss this issue. Let me know if you would like to set up a consultation. Thanks, again.
