After passing the interview, female candidates are forced to have a pregnancy test

According to the regulations of these enterprises, female candidates must pass a urine test and a pregnancy reaction test before they can be hired.

The job-hunting freak unit asked me to do HCG

At a job fair held last week, Xiaoling, who just graduated, told reporters that she met a strange thing in the process of job hunting. When applying for a job in a company, Xiaoling successfully passed the interview, and then the company asked her to go to the hospital for a physical examination, and especially reminded her to do a urine test and HCG. Although Xiaoling didn't know anything about HCG at that time, she did it anyway, and regarded it as a kind of health care for the new employees.

It wasn't until the physical examination results came out that Xiaoling suddenly realized that she was in good health and confirmed that she was not pregnant through pregnancy reaction examination. Shamed and annoyed, Xiaoling found the personnel department of the unit. The personnel supervisor explained that some young women found that they were pregnant as soon as they entered the unit. As a result, their combat effectiveness dropped greatly, and their personnel plans were also affected. To this end, they have made this provision, and they have implemented pregnancy tests for young women who are interested in hiring, and they are officially hired after confirming that there is no pregnancy.

The hospital reported that pregnancy tests are conducted every month.

The reporter later learned that it is quite common for the company to require new employees to have a urine test, and besides the urine test, HCG (pregnancy reaction test) has also become a special requirement for many enterprises to apply for female employees. The personnel manager of a human resources company introduced that a Japanese-funded electrical appliance company that they represent stipulates that all female employees recruited must pass urine tests and pregnancy reaction tests before they are hired. The company believes that the unit has the right to know about the health of employees.

The doctors in the health care department of the municipal outpatient department of East China Hospital also told reporters that the hospital receives an average of more than 2 medical examination units and nearly 1, medical examinations every month, among which several units have named pregnancy tests. For example, a Japanese-funded enterprise and a multinational company have to do pregnancy tests for new female employees every month. Professor Shen Guoguang, director of the Physical Examination Center of Huashan Hospital, revealed that the hospital receives an average of more than 5 medical examinations for recruitment every month. Generally, only three routine examinations are performed, and pregnancy tests are rarely encountered, but the unit will do it if there are special requirements.

Experts' right to know can't be abused

In response to the requirements of pregnancy test in recruitment, Shi Shuping, chief of the consulting section of the Municipal Labor and Social Security Bureau, told reporters that although units have the right to know the physical condition of employees, some units may mix pregnancy indicators in general physical examination for this purpose, but it is very inappropriate to list the requirements of pregnancy test separately without giving clear reasons, which is suspected of discriminating against employees.

Ge Yingmin, director of the Women's Rights and Interests Protection Department of the Municipal Women's Federation, believes that because there is no explicit provision, the employer does not necessarily constitute infringement. The law stipulates that the employer should arrange gynecological examinations for female employees every two years, and it is understandable if the unit arranges such examinations out of concern for women. ;
