When hiring a new employee, the personnel department often has doubts about the authenticity of a particular entry in his work book. Some workers try to appear in a more favorable light before the new employer, therefore they falsify the data about their previous work. The task of verifying the authenticity of such a record is complicated by the fact that labor law prohibits companies from requesting any additional documents (not included in the approved list) from a candidate for a specific vacancy. That is why personnel employees are forced to consider as authentic any entry in the work book, drawn up in a proper way. There are several methods to check doubtful information in this document, the choice of a specific option depends on the possibility of establishing contacts with the previous employer.
How to check the entry in the work book if there is a previous employer?

Usually, employees of this unit are willing to meet halfway, since they will gladly recommend a good employee, and if there are signs of falsification, they will help colleagues to protect themselves from an unscrupulous candidate for a vacancy. It becomes much more difficult to check the entry in the work book in the event that the previous employer has ceased activity or it is impossible to establish contacts with him for certain reasons.
How to check the entry in the work book in the absence of the previous employer?
