Verification of Employment and Letters of Reference
From time to time, SDSU Research Foundation may receive inquiries from outside individuals regarding the status of an individual’s employment. For example, we may receive calls from banks, credit agencies or prospective employers, asking whether an individual is employed with SDSU Research Foundation, the title of her/his current position with SDSU Research Foundation, salary, and why the employee may have left their employment. Employees should be aware that when human resources receives such inquiries, SDSU Research Foundation has a strict policy of providing only limited information. It is the policy of SDSU Research Foundation that salary information, records concerning performance and other personal information are treated confidentially. Consequently, no one other than human resources may provide any information regarding current or former employees to any non-employee without the specific written approval of human resources. This includes letters of reference. The only information human resources provides is an employee’s dates of employment and position with SDSU Research Foundation. SDSU Research Foundation’s strict policy prohibits revealing any information about why an employee may have left their employment.
