Employers are NOT restricted in making factual comments on former employers. They are liable only if they make knowingly false statements. Prospective employers can ask about your former job, too.
Just ask outright. Employers want to answer your questions and usually ask if you have questions at the end of an interview. Ask, "What is the starting salary/wage for this position?" It is tactful and straight forward.
They can ask anything they wish, though there are some limits regarding status that could lead to discrimination. And answers by the former employer may be limited by various privacy statutes, but anything that is a matter of public record can be shared. Most former employers will only confirm the dates of employment and the position(s) held.
A potential employer may ask one of your former employers questions about your work habits, your punctuality, your honesty, your work ethics, your personality. All things that will help them determine if you are suitable for their company.
No federal or state statutes prevent employers from ASKING anything. Very few laws restrict employers from ANSWERING prospective employers questions.
Here in the States, potential employers are not allowed to ask how the former employment was terminated. They can only seek character references. No law prohibits employers from giving thorough info on former employees to anyone who inquires. Former employees have zero expectation of privacy regarding their work record, attendance, attitude, skill, or disciplines. EMployers who express no falsehoods about a former employee have zero liability for defamation.
The only questions that are truly legal are if the employee worked their and what their position was. They can also ask if they are eligible for rehire.
If you list your past employers, yes they ask them if they wish. However most employers are pretty neutral when replying to questions about ex-employees.
All employers can ask that with zero liability.
You must always ask for their license, bonding and employee screening practices. Once you do that, you need have them supply you with references from clients or former clients. Ask lots of questions before making a decision whether to hire their service.
Employers can ask you to identify your age within certain age ranges.
