I expect that the employer will reveal my dates of employment, pay rate, and will comment on the quality of my work and conduct and attendance. No law prohibits or limits the employer doing all of that.
Employers can ask that in every state.
I don't believe they can. There are only very GENERAL questions an employer can ask about a previous employee.
Background checks are unregulated.
The list of questions that you can ask, or rather that they can answer is much shorter. Did they work there How long When did they leave
You might get a job offer over the phone.
Yes. However the previous manager does not have to comply.
To my knowledge, employers can ask about your attendance. They are NOT permitted to ask why you were out of the office. They are NOT permitted to ask questions about your religious or sexual orientations. They are not permitted to ask specifics about whether or not the previous employer thinks you are ugly or a liar or whatever. If the potential employer does ask these, you can file a lawsuit. If the previous employer makes untruthful, slanderous statements about you, you can also file a lawsuit.
Employers usually ask applicants their reasons for leaving a previous job. Potential employers may call the previous employer for a reference.
It means your relationship to the referee. i.e current employer, previous employer, mentor, personal tutor, head teacher and alike.
Ask whoever took out the garnishment order for a statement.
When an employee indicates they didn't get along with a previous supervisor you should ask more questions. You want to ask questions so that you can discover what caused the problem.
They can't ask this question in this manner. A way around may be for the employer that is hiring you to ask the previous employer are you re-hireable. In most cases they only verify dates of employment and salary for legal reasons. This is the general practice.
