Summary
- While Alabama does not specifically restrict employers in what they may ask prospective employees on an application form or during a job interview, employers should be wary of any age-related inquiries. See Age-Related Questions.
- It also is best to avoid questions about past workers' compensation claims during an interview. See Workers' Compensation Claims.
- Alabama has no statutory requirements on whether an employer is restricted from requesting or using arrest records as a factor in the selection process. See Arrest and Conviction Records.
- Alabama law prohibits any person from hiring an alien who is not authorized to work in the United States. See Employment Verifications.
- An Alabama employer may not refuse to interview or retaliate against an applicant for employment because the applicant does not provide wage history. See Wage History Inquiries.
