Stop Asking For Date of Birth or Graduation Dates on Job Applications

Yesterday I talked about a new law that will impact the hiring process. But there’s another new law that employers need to comply with starting October 1, 2021. This one, though, is simpler than some of the others. If you want to look at the law itself, it’s Public Act 21-69.
The law amends existing law by making it a discriminatory practice for an employer or an employer’s agent to request or require an applicant provide their:
- age
- date of birth
- dates of attendance at or date of graduation from an educational institution.
