As an employer in Texas, do I have to return calls about employment verification for employees to such places as a check cashing company? I don't want to give out information to just anyone about employees.

You have to get permission from the person if you have doubt about who is calling. Do not give out any information over the phone. Request for the company to submit a request in writing, and tell them to make sure that they include the person's social security number. That way you know that they are on the up and up.
By law the only information that you have to give out is: date of hire, termination date, favorable or un-favorable, position, salary range only if they request it. Otherwise, you do not have to disclose salary.

check cashing places call to make sure the check is legitimate. if someone from a furniture company or something like that calls, tell them you can not give that information over the phone and ask them to fax their request to you. if you don't receive something then they were phony and just wanted info on someone. when check cashing places call, ask them for the information on the check and just verify the info, do not give them any more then what they have already told you.

maximum of that's trouble-free experience stuff. First, make helpful the corporate they provide you isn't their chum on the different end of a cellular telephone. Independently (information superhighway, telephone e book, or 411/suggestions) be sure the telephone quantity and handle. next, call and ask to talk with somebody in HR. understand that in the event that they artwork for a small employer, you're able to call and get his boss, who's additionally the janitor and the secretary and CEO. whether that's a great employer, merely ask to talk with somebody approximately doing a verification of employment and that they are going to direct you to somebody in workers. as quickly as there ask concerning the size of their employment and the probability that it will proceed. the different think of you're able to desire to truly attempt to do is verify out their credit record. in the event that they have a protracted historic previous of no longer paying everyone - that shouldn't exchange. on account that, as a man or woman, you're no longer set as much as tug their credit, the two get them to email you a replica or pull it with them on line. wish that helps some.

No, ask them to send something in writing with the employee's written authorization. Go directly to the employee and ask if this is a legitimate phone call.

Most likely your employee has signed a waiver authorizing this company to verify their employment. Call them back, ask them to submit their request in writing along with any waiver. You can tell them "Yes, this person is employed here." or "No, they aren't" without any kind of authorization (I think).
