Employment Law Quiz

The Gap HR Employment Law Quiz was created and improved by Carolyne Wahlen over years as a strong and definitive way to evaluate employment law knowledge. We use it to test how good a potential candidate is at HR – and now, we’ve made it public so YOU can see how good you are as well!

Any employers trying this quiz out should be getting 9/10 or higher. If you aren’t then you should call us to discuss your HR needs. Alternatively, we’ve compiled a pdf of all the answers in this quiz, so you can learn what you didn’t know already. You can download the pdf at the bottom of the page.
