What can employers ask me during an interview?

What questions are OK for the employer to ask?

There is this wonderful thing called the Alberta Human Rights Act. It applies to everyone, including employers who are interviewing potential employees.

This act was created by the Government of Alberta to promote fairness and equality. The act emphasizes 15 protected grounds which are off limits when asking interview questions.

The Alberta Learning Information System lists the following protected grounds (alisalberta.ca, 2024).

  • Race
  • Religious beliefs
  • Colour
  • Gender (including pregnancy and sexual harassment)
  • Physical disability
  • Mental disability
  • Age
  • Ancestry
  • Place of origin
  • Marital status
  • Source of income
  • Family status
  • Sexual orientation
  • Gender expression
  • Gender identity

In other words, any questions regarding the items on the list above are deemed inappropriate. Take a look at this ALIS article on how to handle unacceptable questions.
