PET OF THE WEEK
Zinga Hey there, I'm Zinga! I know I'm a little bashful right now, I just need some time to come out of my shell but I know it won't take very long. I'm very sweet and loving... when you start petting me and scratching around my face I turn into a big pile of mush! Human siblings would be cool, as long as they are a bit older and respectful of my space. I am young and energetic so would love to have some family members to play with me. I may be ok with other pets in the home, but as with any introduction, a slow and careful one is best. Think I'm the cat for you? Then come on down to South Trail Pet Hospital and visit me soon!

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 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 what is reasonably required to establish, manage, or terminate a work relationship or manage a post-employment 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 included personal information that was unrelated to the work relationship. Employees have successfully sued their former employers for providing bad references. In response, some employers have instructed their staff to only provide basic information, 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, 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, religion, disability, age, sexual orientation, etc. For more tips on giving references, check out the How to Give a Reference tip sheet on the ALIS website at www.alis.alberta.ca. For more information about PIPA, call the PIPA Information Line at 780-644-7472 (dial 310-0000 first for toll free) or visit pipa.gov.ab.ca and check out their advice on disclosing personal employee information.
