  Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prevent an employer from making any job related inquiry about the existence of the disability of an applicant for employment and about the extent to which that disability has been overcome by treatment, medication, appliances, or other rehabilitation.   Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prohibit the rejection of an applicant for employment on the basis of:   A disability which interferes with a person's ability to perform assigned job duties adequately; or   Any communicable disease, either carried by or afflicting the applicant.

"Work-site employer" means any business entity or employing unit with which a labor pool contracts or otherwise agrees to furnish temporary workers for short-term assignments of casual labor.
