- Employers today mostly use in network physicians

We are asked this question often by our 100+ staffing clients when they are trying hard to curb abuse and fraud. Here is what the EEOC says:
“An employer may ask questions about an applicant’s prior workers’ compensation claims or occupational injuries after it has made a conditional offer of employment, but before employment has begun, as long as it asks the same questions of all entering employees in the same job category.”– 2017
We suggest that you proceed carefully when incorporating this type of applicant question into your interviewing process. This information may help you keep your work comp costs low, and avoid work comp fraud.
