Sample Reference Release for
Employees Who Are Leaving
When an employee leaves, it is best to come to an explicit
agreement regarding what information relating to the ex-employee
you will disclose, and to whom it can be disclosed. Obviously,
you want to be protected from any claims that your comments cost
the employee a chance at a new job. At the same time, you don't
want to be put in a situation where you are uncomfortable with
the information that you feel you have to provide. Remember
that, as an employer, you may establish any policy that you
wish. You can decide to never furnish references, or to verify
only the fact and dates of employment. You can also condition
the furnishing of references on obtaining a release from the
former employee.
The attached file contains a sample employment reference release
that spells out the terms under which references will be
provided. This release is designed to protect you, as a former
employer, when you make information available to a prospective
employer. It requires the former employee to release your
business from any potential liability resulting from the
furnishing of information to authorized recipients.
The file is in rich text format (RTF) that is suitable for use
with most word processing programs used in the Windows
environment. |
