PET OF THE WEEK
Sophie Hi, I’m Sophie! I am a sweet Blue Heeler mama on the lookout for my new home! In case you didn't notice, I recently weaned a few pups so I’m a little bit anxious right now being separated from them. I’m looking for an experienced family who can give me the active and structured home I need. This means daily walks – no slacking! All the noise and commotion that often comes with younger kids are a bit overwhelming for me, so teenagers are more my demographic. My manners need a little refresher course, so you and I get to attend ‘Polite Pooches’ together. How delightful!
Reference Number: 27681760 Name: Sophie
Included in the adoption fee: - Spay/Neuter surgery - Microchipping - First set of vaccines - Complimentary post-adoption vet exam - And so much more!
Age: 1 year Sex: Female Species: Dog Breed: American Blue Heeler Color: White/Brown

Working Wise Dear Working Wise: What information can employers divulge about past employees if they get a call for a reference? I've heard different things about liability that have made me shy away from giving anything more than the most basic information. Signed, Nervous ©iStockphoto/michaeljung
Dear Nervous: There are two separate issues regarding employee references: one concerns the privacy of the employee and the other is fear of litigation. In Alberta, the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) protects privacy in the private sector, including the collection, use and disclosure of personal information.
Do you have a work-related question? Send your questions to Working Wise, at charles.strachey@gov.ab.ca. Charles Strachey is a manager with Alberta Human Services. This column is provided for general information.
An organization may collect, use and disclose personal employee information for purposes related to managing or recruiting staff, including releasing reference information to another employer. The key is to ensure the information is strictly limited to the work relationship. In one case, a clinic employee disclosed to a prospective employer that the former employee "did a lot of complaining about her co-workers" and "because of her cancer, she couldn't handle the work." It was determined that the first comment did not breach PIPA because it is reasonable performance-related information. The second comment breached legislation because it was personal employee information. Employees have successfully sued their former employers for providing bad references. In response, some employers have instructed their staff to only provide basic information to confirm employment like, “Bob Smith worked for us from May 2007 until August 2013 as a marketing representative.” This is likely the safest answer, but it’s not likely to help Bob get that next job. So, in the spirit of trying not to get sued, I am providing the following tips for general information only — consult your lawyer for legal advice. Tip 1 — Check if your organization has a job-reference policy. If so, follow the policy. If not, you might want to create one that specifies what information should be provided, whether you need verbal or written permission from the employee, and who is authorized to provide references. Tip 2 — Talk to the employee and get their consent before you provide the reference. Be honest with the employee about the kind of reference you will provide. They may decide not to use you if you plan to give a mixed reference. Tip 3 — Be honest, accurate and specific when you give the reference and stick to work-related information only. Try to give specific examples to back up your statements. Avoid characterizing the employee’s personality or sharing your opinions on their personal life. Don’t speculate, share suspicions or provide information “off the record”. Tip 4 — Don’t divulge personal information that could be used to discriminate against a job applicant such as race, religious beliefs, disability, age or sexual orientation. The Alberta Human Rights Act prohibits discrimination on these grounds. For more information, visit www.albertahumanrights.ab.ca. For more tips on giving references, check out the How to Give a Reference tip sheet on the Alberta Learning Information Service (ALIS) website at www.alis.alberta.ca. For more information about PIPA, visit www.pipa.gov.ab.ca and check out information sheet #5 on Personal Employee Information.
