Ryan is allowed to prepare a medical exam for employees when all the exams are job-related. This is critical because the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other employment laws outline that medical examinations must be directly related to the job in question. This ensures that any medical assessments conducted are necessary to evaluate a candidate's or employee's ability to perform essential job functions.

In essence, the justification for conducting such exams is tied to valid job-related reasons, which helps in avoiding potential discrimination claims. If the medical exams are not job-related, it could be construed as an invasion of privacy or unnecessary, resulting in legal liabilities for the business.

It’s essential that any medical evaluations comply with applicable laws and directly relate to the specific job responsibilities.
