Confirm dates of employment and position(s) held. They are not allowed to comment negatively about you (though if they dont like you they may anyway illegally), they can however comment about you positively. Though some companies dont allows their employees to do even that.

The prospective employer can ask whether you were employed and for how long. They cannot ask for your salary unless you work there at present and you consent. THey can ask for a bunch of other stuff but that's all their entitled to receive, whether or not the previous employer does the right thing or not is another question.
THe previous employer is not legally allowed to disparage you and some companies even have policies that no references, good or bad, are allowed. Some companies have been sued for saying a person is good, and when the person gets hired, really isn't. Risk managment principles have recently determined that less is more, so they are only allowing disclosure of your dates of employment.

Legally, a previous employer can in elementary words confirm dates of employment. Legally. yet what each and every so often occurs is the message that folk deliver with the tone of their voice and there is not some thing you could truly do about that. as an social gathering...I call your previous employer and that i say that i ought to opt for to verify employment for Bob Smith. Your previous boss ought to reply a pair diverse techniques. He must be very curt and to the point and that ought to lead on me to believe he doesn't like you. Or, he must be very pleasant or maybe ask about your wellbeing and that ought to lead on me to believe that he loved you. you truly might want to tell the call of your very last manager, yet actually, maximum organizations now do history checks that look at your credit and stuff like that. They comprehend that previous employers can not provide references so as that they ought to tutor to different avenues to get techniques. If plausible, you should attempt to get a written letter of reference from somebody else that you worked for or with. yet, back, from a legal attitude...your previous boss can not say some thing about you except confirm your dates of employment!!

Check with your state labor board. It will vary from state to state. In general, they can't ask your previous employer about your age, race, religion, or health.
Again, check with your local labor board. Sounds like you want to get even with someone.

anything they want to ask, ( what are you hiding ) the legalities arise from what your "previous employer" tells them or neglects to tell them on your behalf....companies have been litagated for stated someone was i thief and discharged, also for saying " oh he was such a good associate, his work was awesome, we still can,t believe he just left us, , left us hanging the way he did...
