Our CEO wants us to ask for a copy of their Drivers License when they come in for the prescreen. This way if there is a large number of applicants he can determine which one he liked.
I personally think that it is an invasion of privacy..but not quite sure.

| I'm pretty sure you can't do that.

| Is there a law that states we can't. He is one of those who wants to see where it states we can't. The only reason is that for some of our executive positions, our CEO interviews several candidates (poss 20-30) and it helps him to remember those from the picture.

The Guide for Pre-Employment Inquiries (from the Labor Law Digest) discusses what you can and can't do - and in there it states you can't request photographs or fingerprints. Unfortunately, it doesn't provide the exact law related to it.
One could assume that photographing applicants could lead to discrimintation based on several factors: race, age, disability, gender, height, weight, etc.
Call the hotline - they really help!

| Can we copy the driver license when the applicant comes in and is applying for a position as a driver?

|
| No, you can only ask for those things upon hire and ONLY if the position requires it. WHy does he want this?

| I would be interested how a driver's license helps a CEO decide who he liked? It certainly implies that his choice would be made based on looks, race, age etc. Even if you were hiring for a driver the only document you can request until hired is a copy of the applicants driving record. I believe the Information Practices Act and Drivers Privacy Protection Act cover the issue of releasing "personal" inforamtion to the public. If the DMV can not do it then and Employer can not require a copy of the Drivers License unless the applicant is hired and it is part of the I-9 completion.
