Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Before requiring the medical exam, the employer needed to establish that the absence of arthritis was a bona fide occupational requirement for a private bus driver. This means that having arthritis would prevent Bill from performing the essential duties of the job safely and effectively. Without this justification, the medical exam would be unnecessary and potentially discriminatory.
