but i'm thinking along the lines of they never bother to do it and have been asked to pony up the results of thier initial verification and are now bricking it and trying to get themselves out of a sticky situationComment

Originally posted by el duderhi ya boys and girls. yes im still alive.
Been on a contract for 6 months now, agency has called me requesting references from my last 4 employers stating that i am obliged to give them.
What are my rights here, some of my past contracts have been less then 6 weeks.
Really i am only interested in giving them a minimum of 3 and of the more lengthy contracts i have had.
Thoughts?
You can give them the refs or tell them where to stick it.Comment
