Summary
Imagine that you were talking to someone, and suddenly you get asked a question. Turns out that you know a lot about this question, so you happily answer on and on an on. The person you’re talking to seems interested and keeps listening, even taking notes. You end the conversation and you are happy you helped.
But then later, you suddenly wonder, should I have said that? Didn’t I disclose too much information? What if I get into trouble for saying all of that? Our reader Julie Anne P. was wondering the same thing when she submitted her question via our topic suggestion board and said: “Attorney, what information can a previous employer disclose about a separated employee during employment verification? To ensure no provision of the Data Privacy Act is violated, please advise the extent of information that a previous employer may disclose about a separated employee during employment verification or background checks? Is a Letter of Authorization from concerned employee a requirement before an employment verification be entertained? Thanks!”
I’m sure Julie isn’t the only one wondering about this. If you can relate to Julie, then stick around as we get this sorted out.
