What is the name of your state?Texas
Previous employer fired me without following large company's policies, at- will state, however, I won unemployment hearing and when they tried to appeal they did not win. Texas Workforce Commission stated insufficient evidence shown for reasons of gross misconduct. Question: Can the employer still reference a previous employee as involuntary term-gross misconduct, without any documentation at all and providing a prospective employer with reference only involuntary term-gross misconduct. And no further explanation. It would be a false reference if there is no documentation behind it, and is there any bearing the fact they failed when it came to burden of proof, can they continue to give this kind of reference?
