Hi, my name is Tony, and I am one sweet tempered red head! I like to invite myself up to the security of a friendly lap, lavishing gentle head butts and neck nuzzles upon the host. I’ll show my appreciation with a big crackle purr that’s warm and happy. Despite my easy attitude, the hustle and bustle of shelter life has this kid wide eyed and full of wonder. My curiosity constantly gets the better of me, and I’ll leave my kennel to investigate the goings on. But, I am not a fan of loud noises or quick movements, and often retire to the safety of my den. I am a rather timid little tiger, and I’d benefit from a calm home environment, where I can grow my confidence and mature into a self-assured kitty. Come meet me today!

Working Wise Dear Working Wise: During a recent job interview I was asked if I was planning on having kids. I said no, but the question made me feel uncomfortable. Are employers allowed to ask such personal questions? Signed Concerned ©iStockphoto/rhys247
Dear Concerned: No, employers are not allowed to ask you about your plans for a family. Private information like that is protected under the Alberta Human Rights Act for businesses under provincial jurisdiction. For more information on the Alberta Human Rights Act, visit www.albertahumanrights.ab.ca or call the Northern Regional Office (780-427-7661) or the Southern Regional Office (403-297-6571).
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.
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. 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. “Do you plan to have kids?” might be the interviewer’s way of asking if you will be able to 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.
