[legalwebreview]

If you think, the information provided by the job applicant in his resume, may not be true then, what course of action you can take to get the right information? The only option left for you to get such
information is, by checking with previous employer, where the candidate
was working.

But do you think, it is so easy to get the information from the previous employer? There are various reasons, which may prevent the employer, to release work history of the employee to
the perspective employer. Even law has provisions, which clearly states
that past employer can only provide name, position, service tenure and
job termination date of the worker and no information, other than this
can be released to the third person.

There are many incidences in the service tenure of employee, where he may have been disciplined or terminated from the job for misconduct, poor work performance,
inconsistency with the job and so on. After the termination from the job
for these ill actions, such worker may try to apply for the job in
another company. In such case, the new employer may want you, to
disclose past history of the new job applicant, during his service
tenure in your company.

But, the employer has no alternative, except to inform that, the worker has not authorized him to release information on the worker. The signing of Employee Information Release
Authorization Form may have permitted the company, to pass such
information. The Fear of Defamation Lawsuit by the employee or misuse of
the passed information by the person, other than the perspective
employer is another reason, which also prevents the employer, from
passing the desired information.

It is also to be noted that, due to the restrictions on releasing the true back ground information of the worker, the incompetent and unfit employees, keep on shifting from one
job to another. The employing of such worker by an organization, without
knowing the true facts about him is also detrimental for the company,
which has offered him employment.

These reasons, make it necessary that an employer should ask the employee to sign two documents, one document content authorization clause, offering authorization to the
employer and, another set of document, permitting to release his past
working and back ground check, during the tenure of his service. By
signing of this Employee Information Release Authorization forms by the
