No, they can't, though it's usually assumed you refuse contact due to some adverse situation at your previous workplace. Still, that may be better than having to explain a truly adverse situation. If it's being fired, it's hard to admit in an interview but it's perfectly normal in the course of one's work life. Everyone has lost a job now and then. What your new or prospective employer will be concerned with is what you learned from the experience and how you've changed your work habits.
AnswerThe majority of states have exceptions to laws that regulate what private employers may or may not to in connection with the hiring of employees. Basically the only thing they may not legally do is discriminate against an applicant petaining to the person's race, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation and so forth. And even many of those issues can generally be gotten around depending upon the nature of the job for which the person is applying.So even though the employee does not want former employers contacted and that is still done, the legality of it is pretty much on the side of the employer.Because of the new security laws and guidelines, citizens are having and will continue to have difficulty in successfully invoking the protection EEOC and other such laws.

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.

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.
