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).
An employer may not require an applicant to supply a written statement regarding the applicant’s participation in a strike for more than a year preceding the date of the application. §181.53
Except where based on a bona fide occupational qualification, it is unlawful for an employer to require a person to provide information in regard to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, status regarding public assistance, disability, sexual orientation, or age. §363A.08
