GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. - ColoradoDesk -- Starting a new job can bring about many questions, and one common concern is whether to disclose past injuries to your potential employer.
Your Rights as a Job Applicant
Under federal and state laws, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), employers are generally prohibited from inquiring about your medical history during the hiring process. This includes questions about past injuries. Hiring decisions should be based solely on your qualifications and ability to perform the essential job functions.
When Disclosure May Be Appropriate
While you are not obligated to disclose past injuries, there may be situations where it's necessary. If your injury could potentially hinder your ability to perform the job safely or effectively, it's advisable to discuss it with your employer.
What Employers Can Legally Ask
Employers are permitted to ask questions about your ability to perform specific job tasks. For example, they may inquire about your ability to lift heavy objects or stand for extended periods.
