Can your previous employer tell an employer that you were terminated?

There is NO federal law on this; it is a state-by-state issue. Never can an employer be sued for telling the truth, "Pat was fired 15 days ago", since that's true. In many states, a former employer cannot be subject to a suit for defamation for revealing even more details to a prospective employer. A growing trend is to extend "privilege" to the former employer for anything it says about your performance, attendance, or skill. Privileged communication means no defamation suit is possible. Washington employers gained that privilege last year. Check your state rules.


Can an employer tell the unemployment office why you were fired if you were fired for a code of conduct violation and can the employer give them details of the offense in the state of California?

YES. The state has a legal right/requirement to get correct and factual information about your employment history, to determine if you are entitled to benefits , or not. Another answer: Yes. When you file for unemployment, you are stating your position as to why you are eligible. The employer gives their version and the state has to separate the facts and determine who is right.
