Medical ExaminationsAs with all oth

Medical ExaminationsAs with all other assessment tools, medical examinations are allowable after extending a job offer or conditional job offer if their purpose is job related and they’re required of all candidates. These exams are used to ensure that the employee will be fully capable of performing the requirements of the job and, in some cases, may be part of an employer’s health and safety program. Under the ADA, employers may make a job offer conditional on a medical examination before the candidate begins working as long as all applicants for positions in the same job category must undergo the exam. If the offer is rescinded as a result of the medical exam, the employer must be able to demonstrate that the job requirement eliminating the candidate from consideration is related to a business necessity.
