Re: Ex employer response
F.S. 768.095 provides employers with immunity from job references unless you can prove by clear and convincing evidence that the reference was knowingly false when made. If you believe you'd like to pursue a formal civil action, or if you have additional questions, please feel free to contact us at (305) 755-9441.
Re: Ex employer response
It depends on the specific facts, what the employer is saying and whether it is true. To find out what your employer is saying, you should contact a reference checking service such as Allison & Taylor at www.allisontaylor.com. You should also see an attorney for a consultation.
