Re: Employment Verification
This is a very general question which I would normally provide a general answer too; but the whole field of employment has become such a minefield, that even the most ordinary things require that one exercise a higher degree of care.
Stay away from any areas that are
"protected" classifications unless they have direct bearing upon the job.
You may not provide info about worker's comp claims and the like.
This requires a specific question.
