5.1 Can an employer ask for criminal record details from a job applicant?

Questions an employer cannot ask at an interview. Employers have a lot of leeway in deciding whom to hire for an open position. They are even free to disqualify you simply because they don't like you. However, discriminating against you based on certain protected statuses, such as gender, race or religion, is illegal. Therefore, there are certain questions that interviewers cannot ask at an interview. Employers are free to ask questions relating to a candidates ability to perform a job, such as previous job responsibilities and skills related to the open position.
