What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
I work for a County Fire Dept (We will call it Sand County Fire Department). Many of our employees apply to a neighboring city ( We will call it Jax City Fire Dept) because the pay and benefits are much better. Our current Chief is retired from Jax City Fire Dept and has been the Chief of Sand County Fire Dept. for about 5 years. Sand City FD employee retention has suffered because of lack of pay and it is hard to replace employees that leave.
Is it legal for the current Sand City Fire Chief to contact Jax City FD (his former employer) and tell them do not hire more than one or two employees at a time, even though 20+ have applied and been on the hire list for months and in some cases years.
This has been addressed towards Sand City FD employees by Jax City Recruiting office at prospective employee testing to be aware of the circumstances. When asked if they were accommodating his request, it was stated "well, he did use to work here".
