Is your previous employer allowed to call your spouse after you resign and tell them about your resignation and other employment information?

In most companies there will be a policy put in place that will protect a persons privacy and rights. But for a company to go out of the way and call your home after you are no longer employed sounds personal. I'm not sure if it is illegal but if the information given is inaccurate and causes you anguish loss or suffering you can sue them for defamation of character. But I'm sure you can sue even if it is true for it being a malicious act against you for an unjustifiable reason. If the previous employer is sharing identifying info about you, then that is another thing that you can sue for. GOOD LUCK!
