Legal Question in Disability Law in Tennessee
Can I be asked questions relating to my son's disability
I was at an interview for a management postion at the company I have been employeed at for fourteen years. When I was asked if my son who has Spina Bifida would interfere from me doing my job. They said sometimes you have to come on a five minute notice and asked would that be a problem.
Also another employee whom had brought of things against the current director listed me in a letter to the board members stated that I was the one whom did all the work, etc.
This was brought up during my interview and it became an interagation. Can they do that!

It depends on exactly what was asked. Generally, an employer cannot discriminate against you on the basis of a disability or your association with a person with a disability.
