My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Maryland
Are their any rules, guidelines in which a former employer should follow when answering questions regarding a former employee? I was terminated from a job a few years ago, and when a potential employer called to verify...my former boss went into a half hour rant about my performance. I do not lie on my applications nor do I lie when being interviewed, however, this former employer was totally untruthful regarding my former employment there.
