What State are you in? In California they could be in big trouble for doing that. All they can say is "Yes, she worked here"  Set up a sting. Have someone call them for a check on you and see what they say, then use them to go to court  and explain what they did.

Shelia, contact your State Labor Board.  In my State...the only legal question is:  Would you rehire this person ?

But...in any regards...your former employer...must surely...be able to prove any unfavorable statement... they make about you !!!

Blessings....Jackson

They can't just say things unless they are documented by fact. If this is the case, you need to see a lawyer, the sooner the better. Let the lawyer advise you what to do. DO NOT do anything else until you speak to a lawyer and do only what he/she says.
