What does the law say about employment history checks?
Question:
Can my former employer disclose why I left my job or can they only disclose start and end dates? I also omitted 2 former employers from my resume because I was only there for less than a month. Can new employers somehow find about these former employers if I omit them from my resume? If so, how? Through public records? My social security number? Do new employers have to inform me in writing if they will be doing an employment history check?
