Giving employment references in Texas and staying within Texas employment screening law.

Texas lawmakers have recognized the need for employers to provide and exchange accurate employment references on past employees without having to fear litigation. In Texas an employer may, but is not required to, disclose to a prospective employer on the request of the employee, job performance information including the manner in which an employee performed a position of employment and an analysis of the employee’s attendance, attitudes, effort, knowledge, behaviors and skills. An employer is immune from civil liability for such disclosures unless the employer knew the information to be false or the employer disclosed the information in a reckless disregard for the truth. (TX§103.001-005)

Texas law restricts vendor reporting of criminal record conviction information to seven years:

Texas employment screening law Reporting restrictions (Enacted October 1, 1997 – Not applicable)

Business & Commerce Code, Chapter 20, §20.05 No CRA may report "records of arrest, indictment, or conviction of crime, which from date of disposition, release, or parole, antedate the report by more than seven years. Exception: If salary will be equal to $75,000 or more, the 7-year restriction does not apply.
Texas Employment Screening: At Will employment law Statutes In Texas

Under Texas law, employees are presumed to be "at will." At-will employees may be terminated for any reason, so long as it's not illegal. In most states, employees that work under an employment contract can only be terminated for reasons specified in the contract. However, in Texas, the mere fact that an employment contract is in writing is not sufficient to overcome the presumption that the employment is at-will. To overcome this presumption, an employment contract must directly limit, in a meaningful and special way, the employer's right to terminate the employee without cause. In other words, the employer has to unequivocally indicate that it will not terminate the employee except under specific circumstances.

Please note that Federal law mandates background checks for employees who are engaged in particular industries. The Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services maintains a list of individuals who are excluded from participation in any of its federally-funded healthcare programs. Exclusions are due to convictions for program-related fraud and patient abuse, licensing board actions and default on health education assistance loans. Therefore, employers in affected industries should check the OIG Exclusion list before hiring employees who might work in such programs. The FACIS program is also very important when screening medical personnel. Click Here for more information on FACIS.
