Don't have a prospective employer call your current boss. If your current boss knows you're looking for another job, he/she could fire you! The prospective employer should realize this. Feel free to give earlier job references, of course.
(Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, nor am I an HR person) My understanding is that if a prospective employer calls your job references, the former employer can only verify the dates of employment.
It is very unlikely that an employer will check your references once you have started the job. Anything is possible, but I can't imagine why the employer would do this at that point. If a prospective employer plans on checking references, it will usually be done after you have been interviewed but before you have been offered the job. As soon as someone wants you out (boss or co-worker),k if they have access, they will use it against you.
It is always best to bring a list of references to an interview. This list should include both personal references and business references. That way the prospective employer can get a good feeling on what type of employee the person will be.
Is a previous employer allowed to tell a prospective employer you were fired when you were not in Nevada?
Prospective means: 1. of or in the future: prospective earnings. 2. potential, likely, or expected: a prospective partner. A prospective employer is an employer for whom you might work in the future or have a possibility of working (for example, an employer to whom you have applied for work or for whom you would like to work), but you are not yet working.
A former employer may inform a prospective employer at his discretion.

A past employer may give a prospective employer an overview of the employee's employment record. They can give their opinion about the employee's character.
A job application is a form a person fills out to give a prospective employer basic information about that individual. It will usually ask for complete legal name, address, date of birth , past work history and a list of references.

A prospective employer DOES have the right to ask about your employment history.
