Legal Question in Employment Law in Tennessee

Re: Termination

The answer to your question is going to be sometimes. In most cases, the employer is giving the reason for your termination to a subsequent employer. This is usually legal, unless the reason being given is false. The Tennessee legislature has passed a law which grants this type of communication a rebuttable presumption of legality.

As with most situations, if you are concerned that your rights are being violated, it would be well worth your time and effort to go and speak with an attorney about your situation.
