§ 4-18. References

City of Alamogordo will respond to reference requests through the Human Resources Department. The City will provide general information concerning the employee such as date of hire, date of separation, rehire eligibility status, and positions held.

Requests for further information must be in writing and a release from the individual the request is for must be obtained. These responses will be returned in writing based on information verifiable in the employee or former employee's personnel file.

This policy does not prohibit an employee from giving a personal reference as long as the employee is not acting as a representative of the City and the reference is not on City letterhead.

Please refer all requests for City references to the Human Resources Department.
