What type of information can former employers provide to potential employers about a past employee?



Answers:
Unfortunately, because of frivolous lawsuits most employer will not say anything about your previous employment whether it’s positive or negative. They will usually only confirm that you were indeed employed by them.

This is a company policy, not a law.


Dates of Employment, Salary, and if you are eligible for rehire.
I agree with lurchleft, but to be clear they can provide any information that is TRUE. If they saw you doing lines on your desk, they can say that. If you stole, they can say that. If you liked wearing two different shoes, they can say that.
