Ever worry your last boss is going to ruin your chance of ever getting hired again?
It's a question that comes up in our employment law practice ALL THE TIME.
Question: What can my old boss tell a potential employer if they call them?
Here is what the law says...
According to the law your former employer can pretty much say whatever he or she wants.
Uh oh. Right?
BUT..
The surprising answer is that most human resources departments, employers, companies, etc.. don't.
Because they don't want to say something which may cause you to lose your new job - opening them up to getting sued for interfering with your employment status.
Most companies will limit the info to just the barest of facts to avoid liability. What your rate of pay was, dates of employment, etc.
What about if you were involved in suing your former boss?
What options are there to legally prevent them from sinking your chances of finding new employment..
Well.. That's something that we work to include in the settlement agreement. A clause that they cannot disparage you to future employers.
HARD TRUTH is - some people will still violate this restriction and bad mouth you. Human nature and all that.
But doing so opens them up to litigation again, so smart companies and employers won't.
