I am not sure if employers can refuse to verify employment but they are not at liberty to discuss your job performance.
Depending on the laws of your state The potential employer can ask the previous employer 5 things 1.The date that you were hired. 2.the position you were hired for. 3. the starting pay for that position 4. the date that your employment stopped. 5. if they would consider hiring you again for that position.
(to which they can say yes or NO!)
Any employer can also refuse to verify the employment of a former or current employee, unless the verification is being requested by State,Federal or local government agencies such welfare,social security,IRS,Police,court system ect.. Employers can also refuse to verify your previous or current employment over the telephone and ask that the person or agency seeking verification submit a written request for the information..

Certainly. No law requires the employer to do more than pay you for hours worked.
Can an employer in New York refuse to verify employment of a former employee?
Yes, they can. But the best way to handle this is for the previous employer to accurately state the exact dates of employment only. This is, unfortunately, the only defense a previous employer has against a defamation lawsuit in the event any false or even inaccurate information is disseminated by the employer. Many larger companies are actually paying outsourced agencies to handle this issue due to increased defamation lawsuits. Even though many states have specific laws allowing candid, explanatory and useful information about a previous employee to be used, if truthful, those laws do NOT protect the previous employer from a defamation lawsuit initiation by the former employee at any time, whether it is a plausible lawsuit or not. The best thing you can do as an individual is to procure a letter of reference from you previous employer prior to your departure from that job. Then, the next employer has only to verify that the reference is valid from the previous employer. As an employer myself, I can tell you that a complete information refusal from a previous employer throws out a big red flag about the applicant, so if you've done bad at your last job, you might want to specify arguable issues and the nature of the problem you had with the employer on your application. If the previous employer was a smaller company, I would also be concerned about verification of just dates employed, as this indicates an unwillingness to go into detail about the applicant, another big red flag.

No. Simply put. It is the responsibility of an employer to hold these records for up to 7 years after termination of employement. You can sue them for the information and if they do not have it you could sue them for a monetary settlement. -Book Keeper

An employee who is forced or coerced by his/her employer onto medicare is in violation of the ADEA act (Age Discrimanation Employment Act). IF the emplyer has 20 or more part-time and full time employees. If an employer has less than 20 employees then the ADEA does not apply. However, the DOL looks back to the previous year to determine liability
