Probably not (depending on exactly what it is), and they're legally required to give it out in certain circumstances.
Most employers won't do so without good reason, and the fact that it's not actually criminal doesn't mean that you couldn't pursue a civil case against them for doing it.
Yes. As a matter of law the employer can be mandated to turn over all of its records to the governemntal agency. ( thanks Patriot act.) The employer may do this themselves without prior notification from an angency when the employer feels that a crime may have been committed. There are very few exceptions to this but one example would be health information as it is protected.
No law prevents former employers from revealing almost anything about you as employee: pay rate, disciplines, attendance, skills, personality.
Employers seldom have truly personal info about you.
No, personal medical information is private between you and your doctor.
A past employer may give a prospective employer an overview of the employee's employment record. They can give their opinion about the employee's character.
usually a form DD 214 (army) which shows enter & release date from military. job assignment, personal data i.e. date/place of birth. awards and decorations. assignments, etc
Absolutely anything it wishes to say. Former employers SHOULD stick to facts, but no defamation law requires that.
Not enough info included in question? Pull the results from where? From a private lab or testing company? Maybe. From a government entity? No. Does your employment agreement with them give them the right to do so? (i.e. - Did you give up this right when you were hired?)
Give one example of when you have used your personal past experience toHelp you when supporting others
Its pretty much never safe to post personal info past your name on the web. Google your name and city and see what comes up.
Personal is not a verb and does not have a past tense.
Yes
Anyone you have worked for in the past.
If you are asked for a performance review from a past employer then you should reach out to your former manager. If you can't get a performance review, then you should use the manager as a reference.
Some of them will.
