Legal Question in Business Law in Georgia
Employment application
My husband has submitted applications with other firms. One of these firms contacted his previous employer for a reference, this previous employer told his current that he was looking for another job. Isn't this illegal?

Re: Employment application
I am not aware of any law that would preclude the employer from releasing public information, i.e. the fact that you are looking for a job. However, there may be a civil issue such as a breach of contract or breach of some duty.
If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
