Typically, employers simply state that they would provide a reference for an employee who has been made redundant or dismissed. However, some employers are going the further mile and adding terms such as:-
…The employer shall on request for a refererence, provide the employee’s prospective employers with a written reference substantively in the agreed terms and deal with any oral enquiries in the spirit of that agreed reference. The employer may amend the reference and respond to oral enquiries as may be necessary (i) to reflect the discovery of any material facts not known to the employer at the date of this Agreement; and/or (ii) if the reference is being requested in connection with a regulated role, to ensure the employer complies with the duties imposed upon the employer in relation to such regulatory body and any applicable laws.
