Overview: Several courts have held employers liable for improper medical inquiries and assessed them large monetary penalties even though no discrimination took place. To prevent violations, HR professionals should review employment application forms and standard pre-offer interview questions to make sure they do not contain medical inquiries. Further, HR personnel should train hiring managers about the ADA’s limits on medical inquiries. These precautions should help protect the employer and ensure compliance with the ADA.
