Q: Can someone verify my employment without my permission?

Yes. Employment is not protected information. It&#039;s public information in most instances with only a few exceptions. The employer doesn&#039;t have to tell them but there&#039;s nothing really preventing him from telling either.

While Minnesota is an at-will employment state, meaning employers can generally terminate employees at any time, this does not extend to illegal or public policy-violating reasons.
