How do you spell rehireable?
That is the correct spelling of "rehireable" (able to be rehired, or re-employed).
Can an employee release termination reasons of a former employee to the public?
No. They can provide your dates of employment and your title. Most will not say whether you are rehireable or if you voluntarily quit. If you worked for the government at any level, these details may be available.
How can you find out if your rehireable for a job?
You can call the corporate human resources department or the manager of where you worked and ask if you are able to be rehired. Anyone can call and ask so if you aren't comfortable a friend can do this for you.
Can an ex employer disclose why you were terminated from your job?
In the state of Texas an employer cannot divulge why the employee was fired, only if they are "rehireable" The fact that some one was FIRED is a red flag for most potential employers, regardless of the WHY of the situation. There are no federal statutes forbidding employers from saying what they want about former employees. State laws prohibit defamation (slander and libel), which is broadcasting false info about a person when the communication is not privileged. Honestly reporting that someone was fired can't be slander. Honestly reporting that someone was fired for absenteeism (etc.) can't be defamation either. A growing trend is state law that grants employers the same "privilege" as doctor-patient, or lawyer-client: what one employer says to another about a former employee can't be anyone else's business - not the courts', not the employee talked about. No defamation suit possible. Texas law provides that broad protection to employers. Washington is the latest state to add that to its laws.
