Applications - Alaska

Summary of differences between federal and state regulations

There is no one federal law that specifically addresses employment applications, although there are record retention guidelines under a variety of federal laws (see the Recordkeeping topic) and non-discrimination provisions for hiring in general (see the Discrimination topic).

Alaska law prohibits an employer from using a form of application that expresses any discrimination as to sex, disability, marital status, pregnancy, parenthood, age, race, creed, color, or national origin unless based upon a bona fide occupational qualification.
