AKA, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, nope.
All a repo agency (or any other debt collector) can do is verify your employment and location. They CANNOT reveal ANY debt information (much less their intent to repo your vehicle) or even insinuate that you HAVE a debt. For more info on what a debt collector can and can't do, take a looksee at: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf If a repo agency DID slander you to your employer, please take the time to complain about them ... they have invaded your privacy and stomped on your rights!!
Your location will have a lot to do with what the repo and harassment laws are. Generally, slander and threats are not legal. Cutting the lock can be a gray area in some places. It would be best to contact a local attorney or law enforcement agency to get details.

Every state has an entity that oversees workers' compensation-- it's usually referred to as the workers' compensation commission or industrial commission or is part of the state's labor board. These agencies usually have websites with contact information, and you can contact the agency to find out who your employer's workers' comp carrier is. Some of the states even let you search for that coverage information on line. You should also check the site for filing your own claim with the state-- if your employer won't report your claim, you can usually do it yourself through the state. They will then contact the correct carrier, which will then have to set up your claim and will contact you and your employer to find out what is going on.
You cannot slander the person, or tell lies. Usually the employer will ask you questions, just answer them as honestly as you can. Now days, the most anyone will verify are dates and titles.
