Is it legal for enterprises to require employees to undergo pre-employment physical examination?
It is legal for enterprises to require employees to have on-the-job physical examination. Why? Because enterprises have the right to know the health status of employees, employees have the obligation to inform their personal health status.

The purpose of recruiting new employees in enterprises is to work and increase benefits for enterprises, while the purpose of employees' work is to get paid through reasonable labor. The two are mutual. Employees should ensure that they have good physical conditions and will not affect their daily work.

Usually, during the recruitment process, enterprises will ask employees to fill out a registration form for recruiting employees. Employees should truthfully fill in personal information according to the form, including basic information such as name, age, gender, ID number, home address, and other relevant information, as well as education and work experience. If you look carefully, there is also a column about health. Whether it is health, good health or hereditary diseases, it should be truthfully stated on the form. If the employee does not have the obligation to tell the truth, it constitutes deception, and the enterprise has the right to terminate the labor relationship with the employee.

Of course, it is one thing for an enterprise to arrange a medical examination for its employees, and it is another thing for an enterprise to engage in occupational discrimination because of the medical examination report of its employees. The labor law stipulates that both workers have equal status and corresponding rights and obligations. Therefore, in the process of recruiting employees, enterprises should not engage in gender discrimination, age discrimination, academic discrimination, geographical discrimination, and even physical condition discrimination.

The source of recruitment conditions must come from the job. If there are no special requirements for physical conditions in the positions recruited by enterprises, then enterprises should treat employees equally in the recruitment process and cannot dismiss them because of their physical conditions.
