Ues your employer can tell the state why you was fired. Some people get fired for dumb reasons like insted of working he/she play nothing but Video Games .Why would the employer pay unemployment to that person who didn't work but at all? He/she has no right to collect the benefits. The employer has every right to fight this thing in court.
No
Is a previous employer allowed to tell a prospective employer you were fired when you were not in Nevada?
YES. The state has a legal right/requirement to get correct and factual information about your employment history, to determine if you are entitled to benefits , or not. Another answer: Yes. When you file for unemployment, you are stating your position as to why you are eligible. The employer gives their version and the state has to separate the facts and determine who is right.
Employers can ask that in every state.
Federal law states that an employer should pay a person after being fired in Washington state, on the next available payday. An employer cannot withhold payment for hours worked in any state.
Legally, they can say anything that is factual and accurate. They may tell a potential employer if you were "re-hireable." That said, there's a lot of businesses out there that don't know nor care about that, so they tend to say whatever they want to potential employers looking for references. No law prohibits a former employer from honestly reporting the fact you were fired. There is no possibility of a defamation suit for reporting a fact honestly. Whether you DESERVED to be fired is not an issue in a defamation charge, only whether you WERE fired. You were fired? I am free to tell everyone without liability.
Your Wyoming employer has five days to issue your final paycheck.
If the employer has been fired, presumably he or she does not have to pay you at all, as he or she is no longer your employer. The employer who replaces the fired one is responsible for paying you.
It remains legal in every state to tell the factual truth about employees and former employees. "I fired Jim for attendance problems", can never be the basis for a defamation suit IF ... 1. I DID fire Jim, and 2. My reason was his absence record. Jim need not agree with my decision to make my statement factually correct.
Yes. The legal implications would only be if they lied and caused you harm.
Generally not, if the employer can prove their case with the investigator from the state unemployment office.
Yes it is relevant because your future employer would definitely like to know what kind of a person he is hiring.
