This article is from sun!clt@hplabs.HP.COM (Charlie Tierney) and was received on Thu Jan 8 13:49:32 1987 In the State of California, a very strict employer - employee privacy law exists. A former employer may only state the dates of employment, salary history, job title and description, and the "Official" reason for termination - resignation, etc., of a former employee. Other information given out can open the former employer up to legal action. What this means in practice, is the personnel people must get other information which they desire by non-verbal means, or through the "old-boy(girl) network." Talk to someone in a personnel department about the California law. It has been used successfully to sue a number of times. Charlie Tierney
