What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?New Jersey
I was interviewing for a truck driving job recently and the person doing the interview asked me if I am on any medications and what for. I told her I have high blood pressure and take medication for it. (I passed the DOT physical and showed her the card saying so) She then asked me for the name of the specific medications I am on. This was 10 days ago and I haven't heard from this company since and they still have help wanted ads in the newspaper.
I have two questions:
1. Is it illegal for an interviewer to ask if you are on any medications?
2. Can they refuse me employment soley on the fact that I am on medication?
Thank you.
