reference

UNIVERSAL RULES (apply to every reference task)

• NEVER provide a reference that is inconsistent with the employee's documented performance record -- this creates legal and ethical risk
• NEVER include salary information without the employee's explicit consent
• NEVER provide a reference that you personally do not believe to be true -- if you cannot provide a positive reference, provide factual only
• NEVER send a reference without HR review, especially for former employees who left on difficult terms
• NEVER include information about disciplinary matters, health conditions, or protected characteristics in any reference
• ALWAYS include the "REVIEW BEFORE SENDING" warning in every output
