FAQ
Providing a Reference Many employers will release only basic information when contacted for a reference to protect themselves from lawsuits. They usually confirm employment dates and job responsibilities, salary history, and might include information about whether you were dismissed or chose to leave on your own.
In many cases, if you were fired or terminated from employment, the company can say so. They can also give a reason. For example, if someone was fired for stealing or falsifying a timesheet, the company can explain why the employee was terminated.
Can I see the reference that my previous employer wrote? Your previous or current employer do not have to automatically show you a reference they have written about you. Once you start a job with a new employer, you can ask them for a copy of any reference they have been given from your previous employer.
Your previous employer may share the following things about you:They may share any disciplinary action that can be found in your work history;They may describe what your former salary and job duties consisted of;They may indicate whether or not you voluntarily resigned; and.More items...?
In most states, employers can legally provide any truthful information about your past work performance. The good news, however, is that most employers won't do it because there is a risk that you might bring a defamation lawsuit that would cost a lot to defend.
Legally, they can say anything that is factual and accurate. Concern about lawsuits is why most employers only confirm dates of employment, your position, and salary.
Your employer doesn't usually have to give you a reference unless: your contract says they will. you have written proof they've agreed to give you a reference - like an email.
There is no legal obligation to provide a reference except in a few sectors, such as financial services, but any reference that is provided must be true, accurate and fair. Your employer owes a duty both to you and any prospective employer.
To request a copy of your reference, you will need to make a subject access request in writing to your new employer. They will then consider if any exemptions apply and if they can release the information to you.
Check your own references. If you have a friend who owns a business or has an office number, ask him to call your former employers. Ask your friend to contact each one of your former employers to request verification of employment dates, rehire eligibility and job performance.
