Florida Contractor Practice Exam

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) specifies that pre-employment medical examinations are prohibited. According to the ADA, employers cannot require medical examinations before making a job offer. The intent behind this regulation is to prevent discrimination against individuals with disabilities during the hiring process. The law ensures that job eligibility is determined based on the candidate's qualifications and ability to perform the job rather than on the results of a medical examination.

An employer can, however, require a medical examination after making a job offer, as long as it is required for all employees entering that job category. Additionally, any medical information must be kept confidential and separate from the employee's personnel file. This framework is designed to uphold the rights of individuals with disabilities while still allowing employers to ensure that candidates can meet the requirements of the job safely and effectively.
