My company is looking at establishing a policy for references and would like to provide written references for employees who ask, rather than just go the standard route of only giving basic employment details.
Two questions:
1. If we provide written references for a few people, do we have to provide for all who ask (i.e. if we are selective, do we face potential suits for discrimination in providing references)?
2. Has anyone used a release form that they had departing employees sign releasing the company from liability based on information shared in a reference letter and, if so, do you have a sample form you could share?
Thanks.
