Interview Questions that you are Not Allowed to Ask - Religion
Religion is an extremely personal subject, protect yourself from overstepping the boundaries but still obtain the information you need with these questions.
Illegal: "What religion do you practice?"
Religious practices affect weekend work schedules, but you must refrain from asking directly about a candidate's belief. Instead, ask the availability to work weekends, e.g. "What days are you available to work?"
Illegal: "Do you belong to a club or social organisation?"
This question reveals political and religious beliefs that candidates are not required to share such information with prospective employers. This question has little relation to a candidate's ability to do a job. Instead, ask a question in which its wording focuses on work, e.g. "Are you a member of a professional or trade group that is relevant to our industry?"
