Anyone from the fair who’s taken the Hogan
To anyone who’s taken the Hogan recently... is there a spectrum or range when answering questions, or is it just a simple “Agree” or “Disagree”?
Thanks in advance.

At any point in the application or interview process...do they ask about your number of sick calls? A story was relayed to me about an applicant and I wasnt sure it was believable. Is it disqualifying if you have had more than 4 sick calls in a rolling year period or 8 in a 2 year period?

IANAL, but that sounds like it would be a potential legal problem for UAL if they were asking questions like that in an interview. I seriously doubt they would go there, because it would probably open them up to a potential lawsuit over things like HIPPA and so on. Also due to HIPPA, if they ask about your sick time usage, they certainly can't ask why you were calling in sick, so it really gives them no useful information about your dependability. It might even edge into legal issues for UAL to even ask your previous employer about your sick time usage. I'm calling BS on the story, I doubt they'd ask anything.

Now, just because a candidate signs the form that DAL can ask, as well as pose that question to the candidates employer there's NOTHING that says the current/former employer has to answer it.
Seems as if it wasn't so much about how many, simply whether or not the candidate was telling the truth SHOULD the employer decide to divulge said information.
