Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

It is illegal and unethical for an employer to ask about an applicant's membership in a protected class (e.g. race, gender, religion, etc.) during the hiring process. Therefore, Gerald cannot check this information. However, he should verify the applicant's claim to have a master's degree from Michigan State University (A), their previous job title as Chief of Dietetics (B), and their employment history at the Veteran's Hospital from 1992 to 2007 (C) to ensure that the applicant meets the qualifications for the position.
