In writing resumes, a candidate does not have to provide references on it except they decide to write it on their curriculum vitae. Some may not feel obligated to have their current employer as there reference either. The usual scenario for when the current employer is being contacted is when they new employers already decided that they would like to hire the candidate and present him an offer.
The main reason why you don’t have to submit your current employer is that hiring managers of other companies think that it is really not practical to open about searching for other jobs while still being engaged in the company that you are currently working at.
If an employee has been terminated for some reason from their employment, the company that they have worked for can say so. They can also provide reasons as to why the particular person was terminated. Most major reason for this would be stealing, or if they were able to falsify documents such as time sheets. This usually happens if the company time sheet is not yet automated.
It is important to for companies to provide a 100% accurate data to the new employers. As much as references are supposed to be accurate and truthful, it’s pretty tough sometimes especially if the employer use to have sanctions or have been disciplined in his workplace before. There are employers who do not want or are rather scared to give bad references as there are legal grounds for such action.
With what has been said, it is therefore important for us employees to do better at our jobs, so we can have a clean record and better job opportunities in our careers and future. Our current employer reference check would be on good standing and our new employment would welcome us with open arms. If ever we were able to do something that is off in the past during our tenure with our employers, we can only hope to patch things up as soon as we can and hope for the best that we would be given a chance to work and better ourselves, next time around.
