  7. Information that Generally Should Not Be Used in Employment Decisions • Height and weight • Marital Status/Number of Children/Child care • Educational level • English language skill • Names of friends or relatives working for the employer • Arrest records • Conviction records • Discharge from military service • Citizenship • Economic Status • Availability to work weekends/holidays Employers must show that there is a “business necessity” to use these criteria. For example, an employer would probably be able to discriminate in hiring a teller who had been convicted of embezzling.
