Every job application I've seen asks if they may contact past employers and you must give written permission for any CORI checks but of coarse if you don't agree to a CORI they obviously will never hire.

THe same is true ,they may not hire you if you don't allow them to contact past employers but I don't think they may do it without your permission.

An employer can say whatever they like I know of no law restricting what an employer may say on a reference.

Some employers will choose not say you were terminated as not to hurt you but they can be as honest as they like.

That is why the scenerio is so common where a boss will confront an employee who has made a serious error and says:"resign or be fired" ,so the employee does not have to admitt being fired if asked in the future if he resigned.Almost all employers give the option to resign at higher level jobs,at low level blue collar jobs that option is often not given.

There is no guarantee what an employers will tell your future boss,you might want to use a different reference than that one.

I believe on thing that is true is that future employers can not contact a past employer without your permission unless you give them as a reference,so don't choose references that fired you because otherwise they can't contact past employers

If you are looking for historical validation I'd have no idea how to help you.If you're looking legal validation,like ie... is the house safe,mold free,a solid structure and legally safe for human inhabitation.Any inspector can make that judgement whether a brand new house or a medieval castle.

I'm not from metro Boston but drugs are regulated by the state and federal government and not by municipality.

So no ,here is an article very recent about the possibility of certain hallucinogens being legal soon but not now.Municipalities can't make there own drug laws.35 years ago the town of Wendell made pot legal and the state right away said no way.

Worcester county divides eastern and central Massachusetts not eastern ans western MA.

Western MA is not divided by the Quabbin!

Western MA is not divided by the Connecticut river!

Western Massachusetts is:and only is the counties of Hamden,Hampshire,Franklin and Berkshire.End of arguement!
