Giving Lawful and Helpful Job References without Fear
Tuesday, June 1, 1999
This article uses a recently enacted statute on immunity as a springboard for urging public employers to provide fuller job references instead of the usual "name, rank, and serial number." The statute does not change preexisting law but explicitly confirms that employers who act in good faith may not be sued for providing employment references.
