Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A) In 1973, the Supreme Court ruled that Title VII does not prohibit discrimination on the basis of lack of citizenship, so asking applicants if they are U.S. citizens is acceptable. Neither application forms nor interviews should contain questions for women that do not also apply to men, such as the number of children they have. Questions in employment procedures that should be avoided if not job-related include credit record, conviction record, garnishment record, and education. It should be noted that actually asking non-job-related questions is not illegal; it is how a hiring person uses the gained information that makes it illegal.
