FAQ
Yes, Michigan is an at-will employment state, meaning employers can terminate employees for any legal reason, or for no reason at all, as long as the termination does not violate employment laws. Employees also have the right to leave without cause. Understanding the implications of at-will employment is essential for both parties, particularly in context to the Michigan Employment Reference Release and employment histories.
Best Practice for EmployersThere is no legal obligation to provide a reference but any reference provided must be true and accurate. The content of a reference may need to be disclosed as part of any litigation involving the employee, regardless of whether the information contained in it might be exempt from a SAR.
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.
In any case, if you ask for a reference and your boss says no, consider that they did you a favor. Regardless of why your manager won't give you a reference, the important move for your career is to find substitute references, so that you can prove to a prospective employer that you're someone people will vouch for.
Any request for a copy of your reference should be directed at the recipient of the reference, not the writer. This is because data protection law contains a special exemption for the writer of a confidential work reference (although a reasonable employer may volunteer a copy, especially if it is largely factual).
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.
Yes, an employer can refuse to give you a reference. Employers are not obliged to give their current and former employees.
There is no legal obligation on an employer to provide a reference, but if they do, it must be fair and accurate.
Unless your business is regulated by the Financial Services Authority, generally there is no legal obligation on an employer to provide a reference for an employee or ex-employee and you are entitled to refuse to provide one.
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.
