Employer Interference, Fraud and Misrepresentation
Interference with Employment typically occurs when an employee is seeking future employment and the former employer gives a negative reference or acts in some other way purposefully designed to interfere with the employee’s reasonable expectation of employment.
It can also occur when a supervisor, acting with an improper motive, interferes with an employee’s current employment. Even if there is no employment contract, employers cannot interfere with an employment relationship and cause harm to the employee. To pursue this claim, the employee must show that the employer knew about the employment expectancy and intentionally interfered with an improper purpose and that the employee has suffered damages.
Similarly, employees are frequently enticed with a new job, promotion, higher salary or benefits, only to discover the employer’s fraud after they have already uprooted their lives. Employers can also commit fraud and misrepresentation when they try to keep you from leaving for another job.
