Hiring Process: Human Rights Tips for Employers
Employment interviews/applications are designed to learn about the suitability of people for positions in the workplace. However, sometimes the information sought may not be relevant to the job being filled, and may unintentionally create a potentially discriminatory situation. If an employer asks questions that are not directly related to the necessary requirements for the job ("bona fide occupational requirements"), and relate to some of the grounds of discrimination listed in the Yukon Human Rights Act, then the employer may be open to complaints of discrimination by unsuccessful candidates. This area of the law is constantly changing and it is important for employers to be aware and have up to date information.
Following are some general tips about the kinds of information that employers might address in interviews and application forms, and when making your selection:
