Kansas Employment Law
Kansas, like every other State in the Union, has laws that must be followed to ensure the proper process of hiring potential employees. No company manager wants to have a lawsuit filed against them by a person that did not get a job.

During the interview process, there are specific questions which can't be asked of the potential employee.
