Rummel is right in this thread. You have people like Cubes who want to find out if a woman may have kids or not asking simply retarded questions most corporations would fire him over like "What is your home life like?" He has openly admitted that he asks that question so he knows who not to hire, so why would anyone ask that stupid question that opens them up for a lawsuit? Is there any legal rational reason to ask that question?

before hiring? Pregnancy is a big deal, and a potential employer should know whether the woman intends to get pregnant and take time off.
i agree, but i'm an employer. i hired a girl that was pregnant, and i didn't know it. she worked until the same day she delivered. she proved my worrying was for nothing.

I think I did a good thing, in bringing awareness to womens rights, and sexism in the workplace.

I think a lot of people have learned something from this thread that will help them avoid situtaions in which they may be violating a woman's right to work.

Everyone complains about women staying home and being leeches but then complain they may get pregnant. Good Lord, how do you expect to have families and perpetuate the human race. They are damned it they don't and damned if they do!

A lot of loophole lawyers in this thread

Eta:
I've never been sued. My company has never been sued. I'll take my chances. But, I appreciate all the advice . I'll keep being successful with all my hires.

If I do get sued, I promise I'll bump this thread and eat some crow.

No, just HR/People professionals that are actually trying to help you.

Congrats. I would ask, are you against doing things differently? Maybe changing how you ask questions in order to get better answers? I'm happy that you've been successful with your hires - would you want to honestly divulge on here what your turnover is...per department, per role...if applicable? What kind of business are you in? What city? Do you have a dedicated HR person/team?

How long should this contract be? Is it good for the life of her employment? For just a few years? Until menopause?

If I got those questions, I would assume I'm not getting the job. I wouldn't sue over it.

You should ask about being pregnant. In fact, you should add how you find them incredibly sexy, with their swollen breasts and leaking milk. I'm sure they'll totally feel better about the interview after hearing your comments.

First off, I agree it isn't an over blown situation. That being said, it isn't wrong for a business to want to be protected. The situations I am referring to are when they have insurance benefits as well as a paid maternity leave coupled with fmla. It isn't uncommon for women to wait till the last minute to say I quit. The business lost resources on an employee that they never saw real returns from. Also, they held that position open for them while try could have had a new hire in place.

And can we null and void said contract if we are rendered infertile? Can I get compensation for getting my tubes tied?

Better yet, if I got those questions I'd probably decide I wouldn't want to work there to begin with. Especially if I'm of an age to start a family.

Given the rate in which undesirable people are procreating, we probably need to be creating a better workplace environment for our more intelligent workforce to have families.

I agree with you Belle. The company I work for is very pro-family for men and women. They let me leave early, come in late and take time off for my niece. I can imagine how great it is if I actually had my own kids.

Don't hire a woman to do a man's job.
If the position will be tough to cover for 3 months (or whatever ridiculous length of time they take off these days) do not include child bearing age females as possibles.

While a no-no, I kinda agree with the OP. My boss made a joke the other day because our department is childless and he intends for it to stay that way. I was just introduced to paternity leave. WTF?
