Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia
I live in Virginia and my boyfriend was just turned down by a government job due to a back surgery well over 6 months ago. He has no restrictions due to the surgery whatsoever. Is this legal for employers to do?

Yes, as long as it didn't involve reasons connected with race,
religion, gender, etc, or other such specially protected categories
under federal law where claims of unlawful discrimination are normally
subject to heightened scrutiny.
