Re: Human Resources Questions

Keep all the questions very tight and related only to job functions.

Avoid questions relating to protected classifications such as race, color, national origin, age, disability status, medical inquiries, marital status, military status, worker's compensation history, FMLA leave utilzation history, etc.

I have a chart I prepared for a class I teach at Clark College that is based on EEOC guidelines. I can provide it to you free of charge.
