Answer to Question 1

Former employees may sue if an employer provide unfavorable references that lead to job rejection or if they constitute invasion of privacy. Employers may be liable to a former employee for defamation if the employer communicates to a prospective employer a false statement that damages the former employee's reputation. On the other hand, if a former employee has a history of criminal violence or extremely aggressive behavior, the employer may have a legal obligation to provide the information to a prospective employer. Only accurate and verifiable information should be reported.
