If I resign or I am laidoff/terminated from a previous job and reference them on my resume what are they allowed to disclose to future job prospects about my employment with them? I am located in Michigan so if anyone knows the laws here that would be helpful.

They are allowed to tell your hire/termaination dates, job title and rate of pay at the time of your termination. Termination does not mean you were fired, it simply means the date your employment stopped with that company. They also can not tell your future employer if you are eligible for rehire, but that can usually be read in their tone of voice.
Put the Human Resources Department's telephone number from your previous employer on your application. Chances are they didn't know you personally so they can't answer those questions anyways.
Depending on the type of job you are looking for, they may be able to disclose more information, but only with your written permission.

Dates of employment and rate of pay is about as far as it can go from employers, however many companies now hire outside investigators to track down things like criminal records, verifying transcripts, driving records, bankruptcies and such that you may have lied about.

There are no rules. they might say despite they desire. yet generally, they gained't say something previous which you labored there, on what dates, and what your place is, because of the fact human beings have sued their former employers for giving a undesirable reference.
