An Employment Reference Authorization is the written consent form by which a job applicant or employee authorizes a prospective or current employer to contact specified references and prior employers to gather information about their work history, skills, performance, and professional conduct. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), if a third-party background check service is used to contact references, a separate FCRA disclosure and authorization is required. This standalone reference authorization covers direct employer-to-employer and employer-to-reference contact that does not use a CRA. Many former employers have policies requiring written authorization before providing references.
