This question applies to the state of California.

I have been told that employers are only allowed to confirm dates of employment, nothing more, such as the nature of your departure from the company. I want to know if this is true, and to what extent.

The reason for asking this question is, I want to know whether or not the fact I was fired from a company will hinder my future employment.

Recently, my company announced that all workers would have to divulge any second jobs or self-employment, and furthermore, have them approved (or denied) by the General Manager as a condition for continued employment.

Is this legal?

Notes: I work in California (so any help with state law would be useful) and my employer is a State Government entity.

Please help…. If i have no p45 to hand to my new employer but instead fill out a p46 form, could they find out I havent actually been employed for “all” the time I have stated on my cv?

My employer recently changed my pay week from Monday-Friday to Friday thru Thursday. I do not work weekends. So basically I still work the same days. When my employer made this change, I noticed that on my next paycheck I was a day short. When I questioned the payroll department, they told me that when the pay week was changed that day was held and will continue to be held, and only be paid on my last day of employment. Is this legal? I work for a privately own transportation…

The prospective employer did hire me anyway.
