No - can only be required to verify employment
They can only provide dates of employment, and salary paid.
Only if individual has provided written consent to previous employer allowing them to provide this type of information. Assuming said contact is being used as an employment reference, NOT a personal reference.
Is a previous employer allowed to tell a prospective employer you were fired when you were not in Nevada?
Certainly.
Employers usually ask applicants their reasons for leaving a previous job. Potential employers may call the previous employer for a reference.
yes
If a prospective employer calls your previous employer, the previous employer can say whatever they feel is true. If you don't want a bad reference, you may not want to put your previous employer on the application.
Most employers will provide that information (and pretty much only that information) about former employees.
Previous Employer Total Compensation Refers to the total amount of money (Could include straight salary, bonus, value of benefits, 401k contributions) that was paid to you by your previous employer.
Yes. You can roll a previous employer's 401k balance into a new employer's 401k. You can also roll a previous employer's 401k balance into an individual retirement account (IRA) if you wish to maintain control over the investments.
I don't believe they can. There are only very GENERAL questions an employer can ask about a previous employee.
