Q: Are there circumstances when a disability can be considered during the hiring process?

A: Employers are allowed to ask employees whether they have a disability which would prevent them from meeting the qualifications necessary to perform a job. If the employee has a disability which would prevent them from adequately meeting the position’s requirements, the employer can consider the disability during the hiring process.
