Dear Members,
I am working for a Pharma R&D centre. I have initiated the Pre Employment Medical Check Up which includes the general examination, Cardiac & Diabetic Profile, Liver & Kidney Profile, Blood profile etc.
I have been asked to include the pregnancy detection test for female candidates. My question is: Is this ethical and legal? We have a a Personal Profile to be filled by the prospective candidates wherein they have to declare if they are pregnant. But as an organization, can the test be conducted on them, with their valid consent.
What is the general trend that is being followed in most of the organization...I would be grateful if members would share their view on this...
Looking forward for an interactive discussion!
Regards,
Anuradha Zingade
