Massachusetts H2147 provides immunity from civil liability for employers disclosing specific employee reference information.
Massachusetts H2147 amends Chapter 149 of the General Laws to grant immunity from civil liability to employers who disclose certain information about current or former employees to prospective employers. This includes dates of employment, pay levels, job descriptions, duties, and wage history. Employers responding to written requests from prospective employers are also immune if they disclose written evaluations conducted before the employee's separation and the reasons for the employee's release. This immunity applies to causes of action accruing after the effective date of the act.
