Most certainly. They will understand and you can explain it at the interview 'if they ask'. Yes it is ok. as a matter of fact in Massachusetts you need written permission to contact anyone for a reference.

May you contact your supervisor YesNO How does one answer this question on a job application. Should I allow my new employer to contact my supervisor in my current company?
Generally, it is acceptable to say "No" to this question. Many applicants do not want their current employer to know they are looking for employment elsewhere, as it could create conflict in their current position or even jeopardize it. Therefore, even though this is a standard employment application question, it is also standard for most people to decline to authorize this. it also generally requires no additional explanation.

How should you answer 'May you contact your employer' if you don't want your employer knowing you are looking for a job?
If I was you I would mark no and then explain to them why you answered it this way. Most employers will understand why you dont want your current employer to find out you are looking for employment elswhere.A different perspectiveAs someone who evaluates applications and interviews and hires people I would unequivocally state that you should always answer yes. ing no to this question indicates you have something to hide. Any company looking at applicants already assumes the candidate does not want their current employer to know they are searching for a new job, and of course it will show on your application that you are currently employed by said company. If somebody does contact your current employer, it means you already have the job and they're following up by checking facts.

How long should you wait after applying for a job to contact an employer about the status of your application?
a reasonable amount of time, depending on the job and if others applied for the same job, usually 3 to 5 days. Its considered a follow-up call on the status of your application.
How do you indicate on an application that you are still employed at one job while you are looking for another?
In the section of the application that requests your job history, you would indicate your current job at the top with the dates of employment being [start date] - present . Sometimes, you don't want a prospective employer to call your old job for a reference check because this will advise them that you are looking for a job. Simply mention that preference on your application. (They will eventually call, but only if you are bing offered the position). Also, if you are leaving on very bad terms with your current employer, it may be just a better idea to not mention them on your application at all. Good luck!
What does point of contact means on a job application?
It means the person, department, or coordinator (point) that can be approached (contacted) by the prospective employer to verify the details an applicant provides about a previous employment: hence, Point of Contact.
What questions can be answered by current employer when you have applied for another job?
My suggestion to you is that if you are looking for a new job while you still have the current job, it is not uncommon to ask that the new company not jeopardize your current job by contacting your employer. Most businesses understand this and will honor your request. Also tell them that can provide references, but will want to contact those references in advance to ask their permission before you give out their names and numbers. But your employer can basically tell the interested company anything relative to the job you are doing for them. Things like your performance level, attitude, etc.
Are there problems with omitting info from a job app?
