Applications - Louisiana

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). 

Louisiana law has a provision that an employer may not use an application form to elicit information about an applicant’s disability for discriminatory purposes, nor express a preference based on an applicant’s disability for discriminatory purposes.
