Can an employer ask applicants if they are disabled and what type of reasonable accommodation they may need?
No. An employer should discuss the duties of the job with all applicants. Reviewing the job description together is a great way to do this. The employer may then ask if the applicant is able to perform the essential functions of the job, with or without reasonable accommodation. This question should be asked of all applicants, whether or not they have an obvious disability.
