What are the general laws regarding employment verification?

momteamlv asked:


I live in Nevada and was wondering if anyone knew the general laws regarding what an employer can and cannot say about you when someone calls to verify employment. I know a reference can say whatever they want but what about a previous employer? Thanks.

How far back do background checks look at employment records?

A True Blue Fan from Philly asked:


I have lots of years of employment history, lots of different places as I’m the mother of 4.

How far back, in years, will a potential employer check employment records? 7 years? I didn’t indicate employment going way back as I started working full time in 1978.

Thanks.
I checked my credit report and all 3 reports only show the past 7 years. Is that what they use to check?

David F asked:


I have a law degree and a business degree, but I’m having a hard time finding a job. I’ve spent a lot of time and money on school, I’ve posted my resume on numerous job sites, but unfortunately, I’m running out of ideas on where to find employment.
