In today’s Law Shanty video, Steve Palazzolo discusses what employers can and cannot ask during an employment candidate interview. Although any listed experience or interest on a resume may seem like fair game to inquire about, be forewarned it is not. When it comes to religion, race, sexual preference or age and other protected categories – those topics are off limits. Steve talks about the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act of 1976 and the Michigan Pre-Employment Inquiry Guide as the manual to follow when conducting interviews with prospective employees. Watch the video to learn more about safeguarding your hiring practices during the interview process.
Just Don't Ask
