Blacklisted After A Job Loss?
Indiana law makes it illegal for employers to blacklist former employees. Put simply, blacklisting means taking action to keep you from getting another job.
However, the boundaries of blacklisting can be unclear. Your employer can still legally enforce a noncompete agreement and take steps to protect trade secrets, for example.
Haunted By An Untruthful Job Reference?
References often play a key role in the hiring process. A bad reference can derail even the most promising job opportunity.
If your former employer is making false, damaging statements about you — whether verbally or in writing — you may have grounds for a defamation claim.
