Sec. 605.13  Employment criteria.



    (a) A recipient may not make use of any employment test or other 

selection criterion that screens out or tends to screen out handicapped 

persons or any class of handicapped persons unless: (1) The test score 

or other selection criterion, as used by the recipient, is shown to be 

job-related for the position in question, and (2) alternative job-

related tests or criteria that do not screen out or tend to screen out 

as many handicapped persons are not shown by the Director to be 

available.

    (b) A recipient shall select and administer tests concerning 

employment so as best to ensure that, when administered to an applicant 

or employee who has a handicap that impairs sensory, manual, or speaking 

skills, the test results accurately reflect the applicant's or 

employee's job skills, aptitude, or whatever other factor the test 

purports to measure, rather than reflecting the applicant's or 

employee's impaired sensory, manual, or speaking skills (except where 

those skills are the factors that the test purports to measure).
