what questions employers cannot ask
Kolb says employers cannot make employment decisions on the basis of a service member's membership or active duty service in the military. âEssentially, the employer cannot ask questions about the effect of the employee's military service on his ability to work for the employer.â.
But did you know there are some questions that are illegal for employers to ask you? For example, itâs illegal to ask any questions related to protected classes, says Charles A. Krugel, an HR attorney. âProtected classes typically include race, gender, nationality, religion, military status and age (40 and up). Usually, such questions are intended to identify those class members.
