Have you taken a look at your job applications lately?  If not, it might be time to do a once-over to ensure that you have not asked any inappropriate or illegal questions on the application.  Some of the more common issues myHRcounsel attorneys see on job applications are requests for:
 

  • Social security numbers

  • Date of birth

  • Graduation dates

  • Information about the type of military discharge

  • Race, ethnicity, national origin

  • Maiden name including an option to circle Miss, Mrs. or Ms.

  • Medical information

  • Criminal conviction history
