Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
Upon request of a former, discharged employee, an employer must provide the former employee with a written statement of reasons for discharge, within a reasonable time period after the request. If an employer fails to do so, it is a crime to send a statement of reasons for discharge to any person (other than a court) or blacklist the former employee to prevent him/her from obtaining employment.
An employer may not prevent or attempt to prevent a former, discharged employee from obtaining employment; however, an employer may inform a prospective employer of the true reason for discharge.
