Who do you contact or report when an former employer gives a bad reference?
The former employer has made derogatory and false claims regarding work habits from 4 yrs. ago about a friend of mine who was 16 at the time. she now works somewhere else ( they told her about the former employer's comments about her). I thought it was illegal to divulge any opinion about a former employee good or bad.
No it isn't illegal to divulge info about a former employee, good or bad. Many companies have policies not to give any info beyond dates of employment, just to avoid hassles. But they can if they want to.
If someone lied about a former employee, they could be subject to a civil suit by that employee.

Not illegal, but most large companies won't discuss details for fear of getting sued.
If she is still working then might not have much of a lawsuit.
Oh Boy!
1. No, it's not illegal to "divulge" an opinion when it's true. In this case "the truth is a perfect defense".
2. Whether it's true or not would be a question of fact for a judge/jury to decide in a civil trial for slander.
3. Let your friend handle his/her own deal.

Call their human resources department and let them know that you are aware that someone is bad mouthing you and they usually take care of it. You can also hire companies that will call and get a reference and tape the conversation and make a transcript. They will then notify the company and send a cease and desist letter for about $100.
It's not illegal for them to tell the truth and say that you were not punctual or that you always called in absent but it is illegal to defame and slander you if it's untrue. It's a very fine line.

Maybe the labor board. Yes it is illegal. The proper question to ask for reference would be: "would you rehire __________?.

Its not illegsal to divulge an opinion, but its dangerous and here's why. You friend can sue the former employer for slander and/or lible and seek a civil penalty. I'd proceed right down to small claims and bring your new boss and sue the former employer.
