Description

In the past, work references have been vague and uninformative because employers fear defamation charges. New laws in Minnesota aim to help employers learn more about their prospective employees by opening the lines of communication during reference checks. This research showed how knowledgeable employers are about these new laws and whether or not they are taking advantage of its benefits.
