Verification of employment requests:
What information must I give on previous employees to requests by potential employers. Can I only give dates of hire and termination? What way am I able to screen to find out if these requests are really coming from potential employers and not just information requests?
- Is this your question? Add additional information

You can screen potential inquiries anyway you like. You can request a ssn and date of birth, or you can ask for a written release from the employee they are trying to confirm. You should verify dates of employment and job title if you are certain the information is being sought from a legitimate source. Anything more, such as salary or performance, and I would request a written, signed release from the employee.

Let me add a word of caution here. If you want to provide detailed information about the dear departed ...obtain a signed release from your former employee that holds you harmless for telling the truth. Clearly, the most expensive expense a company can incur is from otherwise avoidable employment related litigation. Be smart ...be safe ...get a signed release. Good luck to you and best regards.
