Eeoc Self Identification Form

Simple. They don’t want to be sued for hiring discrimination.Asking for the Form CC-305 (Voluntary Self–Identification of Disability Form) before making the hiring decision could open up the employer to potential hiring discrimination claims.“You didn’t hire me because I have a disability…”Whether the disability had anything to do with the hiring decision or not is somewhat immaterial. Here is how it goes in trial:Plaintiff attorney to employer representative:“Did you ask for Form CC-305 before making a hiring decision?”Employer representative:“Yes.”Plaintiff attorney:“Are you aware that the Plaintiff marked this form as having a disability?”Employer representative:“Yes.” (Whether connected or not, the jury will often take this as the causative reason for the no hire decision and award damages)“No.” (“Then why did you request the form before making the hiring decision, rather than after, which is standard practice for most employers?” Again, judgment in favor of Plaintiff, whether employer is actually guilty or not)It should be noted that most employers do not request CC-305 either before or after hiring. It is required only for employers subject to OFCCP (Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs), i.e. government contractors. But a surprising number of employers do business with the federal government.The form even states: “Because we do business with the government…”It should also be noted that CC-305 (along with OFCCP) defines “disability” very broadly, to include many disabilities that cannot be seen and would not be seen in the course of a normal interview process. These include disabilities which may have NO visual or other indicators during interviews such as:CancerDiabetesEpilepsyHIV/AIDSSchizophreniaBipolar disorderMajor depressionPost-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)Obsessive compulsive disorder…and, on top of the ones stated, the form also states: “Disabilities include, but are not limited to:” So if you self-define as having a disability, you qualify. And the employer is required to make a reasonable accommodation for your disability. Although caution to you in case you are thinking of making up a new one, it does have to be an established disability, unless you feel like being the first test case.If you would like to learn more about the interview process, please visit The Path to Interviewing Success at CollegeGrad.com.

To the best of my knowledge it has no effect whatsoever. You are asked this information to help the government keep track of how many blacks, Asians, females, Mexicans etc work in what type on industries. They are looking for other characteristics to consider employing you. They can tell what color you are from interviewing you or from other demographic characteristics.I am one of the few people who has been successful in every single job interview I have ever attended. This is because I volunteer information that my prospective employer may be barred from asking. I volunteer the fact that I am extremely healthy as evidenced that I have participated in three marathon races. I volunteer the fact that I have a perfect attendance record with my previous employers. I volunteer the fact that I have perfect credit rating. Finally I provide documentation to prove it.

Honestly it depends on the disability and what accommodation would have to be, plus what the job duties are. If you are wheelchair bound and would have to signNow  equipment from 6' high and carry it across the building where you will have to install it, you would not be fit for the job.  If you have Tourette syndrome chances are you would be s good choice for a high stress environment working with others   If you are epileptic and have seizures someone needs to know about them so the situation can be handled correctly. If you are in kidney failure and require dialysis 7 days a week for ten hours a day, unless you reveal this you will be expected to work your schedule. Please bear in mind that new insurance might have a pre existing clause and might refuse to pay for anything related to reexistance. Good luck.

You should not lie in the self-appraisal form. Professors generally do not ask anything from the self appraisal form. But if they find out some extraordinary stuffs in your form, they may ask you about those topics. And if you do not know those topics properly, you will have higher chance of NOT getting selected for the fellowship. So, DO NOT write anything that you are not sure about.If I remember properly, in the form they ask, “What is your favorite subject?” and I mentioned Biology there. Head of the interview panel saw that and asked me about my favorite field of biology. When I told genetics, two professors started asking question from genetics and did not ask anything from any other fields at all (except exactly 2 chemistry questions as I mentioned chemistry as my 2nd favorite subject). But they did not check other answers in self-appraisal form (at least in my presence).Do mention about science camps if you have attended any. Again, do not lie.All the best for interview round. :)

In order to officially file the workplace discrimination claim, you need to contact The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). You may file the claim in person at the nearest EEOC office, and you can also file the claim by mail or online.

As an employer, you are required to ask employees to self-identify if they wish; however, employees are not required to self-identify. If an employee declines to self-identify, you must still report their race and ethnic information from employment records, observer identification, or other available information.

Invitation to self-identify. An invitation to self-identify is an optional question on a job application that allows the applicant to identify as a veteran or person with a disability. ...
