Dh and I were having a discussion last night and he mentioned that it is illegal for your current employer to give out a referral. Now, when I applied for the last two jobs I received, the potential employer called my then-current employer. I thought this was standard practice. Dh said that his boss will only give the dates of employment...no personal comments on the employee, because he said he is liable for the comments he makes.
I think Dh is wrong. Can anyone verify for me? The reason we were talking about it is because a friend applied for a better job but was turned down because her current employer said she was incompetent and would not hire her again. (begs the question why they don't fire her then....but I digress)
Anyone know for certain???
