Legal Question in Administrative Law in California
reference question
Current employer has asked me to write and pre date (by 2 weeks) a letter allowing them to release my information during reference checks. They have already released this information. Am I obligated to write such a letter?

Re: reference question
No, but it might be good office politics to do so. What do you have to hide? On the other hand, the whole process is a little smelly and it may turn out that this particular employer will not be your long-term preference for this and related reasons.
Re: reference question
Mr. Whipple is 100% correct. If it is a very large employer, you might want to go to the HR department and mention this incident to someone, mentioning that your boss might cause some lawsuits by releasing information before he has employee approval.

Not backdated, and not normally unless you want it done.
