Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Asking about emergency contact information is legal and important for the employer to have in case of an emergency situation. However, A is a potentially discriminatory question as it could be used to exclude candidates who are unable to relocate due to family obligations or disabilities. B is a legal question as it assesses whether the candidate can perform the job with reasonable accommodations, but it is not considered appropriate to ask about reasonable accommodations before a job offer is made. C is also legal but may be less relevant to the job application process and may be interpreted as an attempt to profile the candidate based on protected characteristics such as race or national origin.
