Description

The Authorization to Release Wage and Employment Information and Release of Liability form is a legal document used in California to give consent for an employer to disclose an individual's employment history and wage information to a third party. This form is particularly useful for individuals seeking new employment or verification of past employment. It includes a clear provision for the individual to authorize their current or former employer to release information and to hold the employer harmless from any liability. Key features of the form include the requirement for the individual’s signature, a social security number for identification purposes, and instructions on how to revoke the authorization in writing. This form can be filled out easily by entering the required personal information, including names and details of the parties involved. Attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants may find this form essential when assisting clients with job applications or background checks, as it ensures authorized and legal access to necessary employment records. Additionally, it provides a framework for protecting the employer from potential legal claims resulting from releasing information, making it a crucial tool for legal compliance in employment practices.
