Practice question: Persons with Disability (RA 7277, as amended by RA 10524)

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

After offering employment, a company requires a medical examination only from an applicant with disability while exempting all other entering employees. It relies solely on the job offer as satisfying every Section 33 condition. Which is sound?
  1. A job offer automatically removes every condition.
  2. Disability alone permits any examination regime.
  3. Confidentiality is irrelevant after an offer.
  4. The all-entering-employees condition must also be addressed; the offer alone is not complete compliance.
  5. No medical examination can ever be lawful.
