Legal Question in Employment Law in California
After 9 years of employment and a bank merger, I was fired as a result of a procedural error that resulted in a loss of funds. However, after hearing my case, unemployment said I acted upon the training I received and said I was not at fault. It's been almost 2 years and Wachovia Bank is still black balling my name and keeping me from getting hired and employed by telling other employers I am "Not Rehireable"! All of my training and expertise is in Banking and Financial and I cannot get a job! Please advise......

Unfortunately, when you use a past employer as a reference, you are impliedly giving them permission to provide truthful information about you to prospective employers. If your former employer truly considers you not rehireable, they have the right to state that to an employer who asks that question.
You can contact the former employer and ask that they limit the information they give to simply verifying your dates of employment and position held. If the person you speak to refuses to comply, take it to a higher level. Hopefully, someone with sense will agree to limit your information.
