    A random voice on the phone requests payroll and address information; the information available cannot be verified, and you're thinking this is a defendable position?

    Even if it doesn't violate any specific laws, the employer could still end up on the wrong side of a lawsuit.

    (I never said there was anything criminal about it.)

    not saying it is a defensible position. Just saying in itself, I do not see anything illegal about it or likely even actionable. As I said, most of the info is available to any company that is calling for a reference anyway. Why would it be any more egregious to release it to some random person?


    and in that light; how do you know that Bob from XYZ company calling for a reference is actually Bob from XYZ company and not the pissed off ex husband Dick?

    I didn't say it was illegal. And I won't give a reference without a signed authorization, either.

    Call it best practice if it makes you feel better. But I'm not giving out salary information or verifying addresses to someone that I can't confirm is entitled to have that information.

    I know you didn't say it was illegal. My error in terminology. Actionable, tortious, whatever fits the bill. My error. Sorry.:sorrow:

    where would such an authorization be presented to you?

    sounds like a good practice but how do you verify that?


    rather than answering the questions here, since the purpose actually has an ulterior personal motive, care if I PM you about this?

    Thank you all for your thoughts on this. It confirms what I thought, do not release any information to her. If it is a legitimate request, I don't see why he can't do the requesting. It is not worth any problems it could cause me or company, should she use it without his consent.
