Few statutes prohibit employers from saying anything about former employees.
Defamation law imposes no liability for saying the truth about a former employee (or anyone). Former employee permission is never required. Some employers insist on it just to deflect liability - which doesn't exist.

∙ 17y agoLegally it may vary from State to State. I believe though, they can only be asked how long you were employed. And if they would rehire you.. but again it may vary.. It depends on who's asking. If it's a refernce check, likely they will only confirm that you worked there, rate of pay and position held. Limiting this information will help prevent a lawsuit for 'slander'. If it's the government asking (IRS, Police, Sherriff, FBI etc.) And they have appropriate warrants, they must provide more information about you.

What is you ideal employer-employee relationship?
My ideal employer-employee relationship is where you are able to understand who is of greater command. So, in other words, you can tell who is the employer and who is the employee. In my little brother's school, the principle used to be the husband and the teacher used to be the wife. That is fine as long as they are married. But they could be dating too, just try not to let the employer show too much favouritism.
