PET OF THE WEEK
Cheeky
Check out my amazing whiskers, not to mention my great ears. I'm Cheeky, and my name perfectly describes me. I am very active and playful. I will entertain you by jumping from ledge to ledge, running on my wheel and having dust baths. When I'm done with all that exercise, I love chin rubs. Since chinchillas have the softest fur of all mammals, you will enjoy giving me chin rubs as much as I love receiving them. Come by and meet me, maybe I'm just the softy you've been looking for.
Reference Number: A22956508 Name: Cheeky
Included in the adoption fee: - Spay/Neuter surgery - Microchipping - First set of vaccines - Complimentary post-adoption vet exam - And so much more!

Working Wise Dear Working Wise: I was asked during a recent job interview if I was married? I said “no”, but the question made me feel uncomfortable. Are employers allowed to ask such personal questions? Signed Concerned Dear Concerned: No, employers are not allowed to ask you if you are married. Private information like that is protected under the Alberta Human Rights Act for businesses under provincial jurisdiction. Some interviewers might be unaware and may unknowingly ask inappropriate questions. You should be prepared for this so you are not caught off guard in an interview.
©iStockphoto.com/rhys247
Do you have a work-related question? Send your questions to Working Wise, at charles.strachey@gov.ab.ca. Charles Strachey is a manager with Alberta Human Services. This column is provided for general information.
Generally, any information that could be used to discriminate against you cannot be asked. Employers should only be asking you for information that is relevant to your ability to do the job. Employers cannot ask about: • gender, marital status, family status, next of kin, marriage plans or child-care arrangements; • source of income, unless it concerns your former employment; • maiden name or name origin; • age or date of birth, but they can ask if you meet the minimum age requirement for the job; • previous address, unless it meets a business purpose acceptable under the Act; • birthplace or ancestry; • height or weight • sexual orientation; • membership in organizations unrelated to your work; • hobbies or interests that relate to race, religious beliefs, etc. • current or past health problems, Workers’ Compensation Board claims, or any absence due to stress or mental illness; • citizenship or languages not required for the job; • religious beliefs, customs and holidays that you observe; or • military service outside Canada, unless there is an acceptable business-related purpose. Employers cannot request a photo, which could reveal factors such as race and gender, except in certain circumstances such as a modeling or entertainment position, where this may be acceptable. If an employer requires a photograph for business-related purposes, they can ask for it after an offer of employment has been made. Employers can ask: • if you can fulfill work-related requirements, such as working night shifts or lifting heavy items; • for any previous names you have had if the information is needed to complete reference checks or verify your past employment or education; and • if you are legally permitted to work in Alberta. Three ways to handle inappropriate questions: 1. Write "not applicable" on the application form or politely let the employer know that the question is inappropriate; 2. Answer the question and then discuss the underlying concern that has prompted the question. “Are you married?” might be the interviewer’s way of asking if you can work late when needed; 3. Answer only the underlying concern. However you choose to answer, be professional, diplomatic and honest. After you are offered the job and accept it, the employer can ask you for information required for benefit coverage and for employment records. For more information, visit www.albertahumanrights.ab.ca. If you have a question or a complaint, call: • Northern Regional Office at 780-427-7661 • Southern Regional Office at 403-297-6571 To call toll-free, dial 310-0000 and then the area code and phone number.
