It is also reasonable to only bother the previous employer once, rather than for the reference and again for admin details. Not ideal, but I can see why the situation would arise.
I think I have fully explained why it is foolish. For the price of an extra stamp, email or phone call from a junior HR admin worker... versus at least £25k in legal fees on a discrimination claim, plus you might lose and have a significant award against you...? No amount of need to save a bit of cash or inconvenience justifies such a risk.0 -
this has never been asked before, or at least I haven't been asked0

Do you know if it was asked as part of the reference or separately, and what has been asked exactly?0
