Legal Question in Employment Law in New York

Employment Verification From Former Employer

Does a former employer have to verify your dates of employment? When a prospective employer checked with them, he was told that they ''don't give out any information'' and would not even verify my start and end dates. Is this action appropriate? Thanks very much.

Re: Employment Verification From Former Employer

A former employer has no obligation to provide any information regarding your employment except under a judicially ordered subpoena.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can call my office to schedule an appointment for a consultation or in the alternative, I can be reached for on-phone low-cost legal consultation at 1-800-275-5336 x0233699.
