Q: What is the rule on conducting pre-employment essential function analysis?

A: Pre-employment analysis is usually done post-offer. Each trade has its own essential functional requirements to perform each task safely.

An effective Essential Function Analysis program not only helps potential employees understand the physical requirements of the position but have been proven to identify health issues that required medical intervention. An effective program protects the safety and health of the prospective employee.
