In many cases, if the minimum qualifications require either a high school or college degree, the employer may include this in the pre-employment background check which can verify your education. This is done when you sign a consent for a background check when being considered for employment.
Yes, by requiring you to provide a copy of your transcript. (They probably can't get it without your permission, but I'm not certain of that.)
However, they're not particularly likely to do so. Checking up is a hassle, and unless this is your first job right out of school, your work experience is going to be much more important than your high school grades anyway.
If they're looking for people to lay off, that might change things... lying on your application at most places is grounds for immediate dismissal, even if the company doesn't find out about it for years.
An employer can run a background check that they pay someone to do. They can also call your high school directly. Some employers ask for a copy of your diploma.
Yes, employers can verify grades on your transcripts you have given them. It is very rare that will do this though.
Because you are supposed to list that under the Education section of your resume. They can then verify that information by calling or writing the school.
No. Perform is to do, verify is to confirm. For example in the work place the employer may need to verify that an employee has performed her/his duties satisfactorily.
I am not familiar with your type of identification, do you mind if I verify your identity with your employer?
yes, to verify information on applicants prior work sites and verify if applicant qualifications and job performance.
After you graduate from high school your school records from k-12 become public information. Ask to see the person's graduation certificate.
why would you, idiot?
I don't know about in California but I heard that an employer is not allowed to tell anything about an ex employee unless used as a reference. If you just use the employer as a previous job all they are supposed to be allowed to verify is that you did work there and the dates. However if you put them down as a reference and a prospective employer calls them they can elaborate on your character as well.
Legally your previous employer cannot give a negative feedback to a potential new employer. All they can do is verify employment, dates of employment, and the position held by the employee.
No - can only be required to verify employment
(Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, nor am I an HR person) My understanding is that if a prospective employer calls your job references, the former employer can only verify the dates of employment.
They can't ask this question in this manner. A way around may be for the employer that is hiring you to ask the previous employer are you re-hireable. In most cases they only verify dates of employment and salary for legal reasons. This is the general practice.
