Employers can seek additional references

The Employment Appeal Tribunal has held that there is no implied term in a contract which would prevent an employer from seeking references additional to those supplied by the employee.

In the case of Purvis v Luminar Leisure 1332/99 it ruled that in the absence of an express term which imposed such a limitation, employers were free to seek additional references and to act on them.
