EMPLOYMENT VERIFICATION PHONE CALLS
![cebudragonlady](http://hrforms.blr.com/plugins/DefaultAvatars/design/GreenAvatar.jpg)
It got to the point, calls after calls afer calls,
day after day , week after week - from all kinds of people saying that they are / finance companies/ banks/- assuming they are not lying. The last call was the last straw, asking all kinds of personal questions about our employee. I got suspicious, and refused to answer. Then I put a memo out in the factory, saying all employment verifications must be approved in advance in writing by them, noting "to whom" the reference could be given to - and limited to date of hire, position and/or wage rate. The form would be signed by the employee, and me- and put into the employee personel file.
