Employment Reference Check Policy

From time to time, the University may receive inquiries from outside individuals regarding the status of your employment. For example, we may receive calls from banks, credit agencies, or prospective employers, asking us whether you are employed with the University, your current position with the University, your salary, and why you may have left CSUB. You should be aware that, when we receive such inquiries about your employment, the University has a strict policy of providing only limited information. Consequently, no employee (other than certain authorized people in Human Resources) may provide any information regarding current or former employees (either on or off-the-record) to any non-employee. This includes letters of reference that represent the University. The only information that we provide is your dates of employment and your position with the University. We will not reveal your salary, although if we are asked to confirm your salary, we will say “yes” or “no” to a particular amount. The University’s strict policy prohibits us from revealing any information about why you may have left us. However, in some instances, you may want us to reveal additional information. In those instances, we require written authorization from you, permitting us to divulge such additional information.
