Certified Regulatory Compliance Manager (CRCM) — Question 249

Under the ADA, what can an employer do?

Answer options

• A. Inquire about a disability if the disability is obvious to the interviewer at the time of the job interview
• B. Inquire about a disability when offering a job provided the disability is related to the job requirements
• C. Refuse to make an accommodation for a disability if 50 persons or fewer are employed
• D. Note the disability in the employee's file so that other managers will be aware of it when interviewing the employee for future position changes

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because it allows employers to inquire about disabilities that are pertinent to the job when making a job offer. Option A is incorrect as employers should not ask about disabilities unless it is job-related. Option C is misleading since employers are generally required to accommodate disabilities regardless of company size. Option D violates privacy and is not compliant with ADA regulations.
