FAQ

Employers are not prohibited by law from disclosing to a potential employer - who calls for a reference about a former employee - the reasons that the employee left, as long as the information they share is truthful.

To turn them down politely, you could write: I'm sorry, I don't feel I have worked with you long enough to provide you with an accurate and thorough recommendation, but I wish you all the best with your job hunt.

Typically, employers are allowed to share general information regarding your tenure with their companiesthings like your dates of employment, job title, and responsibilities, all which serve to confirm your employment and validate the things you likely provided on your resume for potential employers.

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.

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.

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.

Busted. 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.

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.

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.
