Employers have always sought to implement a selection process
for hiring the best candidates for their organizations. This
crucial step allows employers to ensure the reliability and
physical and mental capabilities of potential employees, who will
hopefully provide them with diligent and reliable services, one of
the rare obligations incumbent on workers in labour relations
matters.
In connection with the selection process, employers will thus
want to ensure that this special someone will be able to perform
all of his or her duties in a prudent and safe manner, thereby
helping the employer meet its obligations to protect the health,
safety and security of its workers.
In order to do this, and to satisfy themselves concerning the
true capabilities of their future employees, employers have a
recognized right, when hiring employees, to verify that they have
the normal professional aptitudes required by their positions and
the duties inherent therein.
