What if my employer doesn’t give me a reference?

If your old employer doesn’t want to give you a reference, you could ask them just to give a short one – known as a ‘basic reference’. For example, they could confirm when you worked for them and what your job title was. A lot of employers only give basic references, so your new employer won’t think it’s unusual.

Can an employer refuse to write a letter of recommendation?

NO! An employer cannot refuse, without just and valid reason or under false pretences, to provide an employee who was fired or who resigned, a letter of recommendation, if such letter has been requested. If there is nothing honestly positive to say about an employee, the employer does not have to embellish the reality.

What can an employer say in a reference?

Legally, they can say anything that is factual and accurate. Concern about lawsuits is why most employers only confirm dates of employment, your position, and salary.
