Pre–employment Inquiries and Medical Examinations
Technical assistance manual on the employment provisions (Title I) of the Americans With Disabilities Act
I. TITLE I: AN OVERVIEW OF LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
An employer may not ask a job applicant about the existence, nature, or severity of a disability. Applicants may be asked about their ability to perform specific job functions. An employer may not make medical inquiries or conduct a medical examination until after a job offer has been made. A job offer may be conditioned on the results of a medical examination or inquiry, but only if this is required for all entering employees in similar jobs. Medical examinations of employees must be job–related and consistent with the employer’s business needs. (See Chapters V. and VI.)
