Will future employee know that you were fired?

Most HCM systems capture whether it was a voluntary or involuntary separation. Involuntary separations generally make you eligible for COBRA. The involuntary part of data is something a future employer or the company they use to do background checks can ask for when validating past employment. Some employers will limit the information they provide to simply dates of employment and title, for liability purposes. Ask your former employer’s HR department what information they will provide to future employers or to background investigators. Then you know what information you’ll be working with or reframing.

OP, can you try that again? I think you’re asking what you should ask HR so it doesn’t raise any red flags. This is such a common ask with background checks, it won’t raise any. Simply ask, what is your policy on providing information to future employers or for background investigations? What data do you provide to them?

Data privacy is huge right now.

Most companies don’t provide the reason for separation, unless someone was fired for egregious grounds. Typical background checks and reference checks are only provided with dates of employment and title. Reference checks can be asked if the employer would consider hiring the individual again, to which the employer can decide to respond or not. The above has been my experience as both a hiring manager as well as a candidate.

No but it’s a small world. Never a good strategy to be caught in a lie. Just embellish the story

Depends on the background check process they use. A lot of companies opt to call your former HR rather than your references

For what it’s worth OP, I don’t know your situation but I think there’s certainly a difference between being fired for cause and being placed on a PIP. If you’re on a PIP then most companies will understand that those are commonly used as a cost cutting mechanism (even if that’s not the case for you)

I wish I would have had this bowl ten years ago 😔 I recently was diagnosed with ADHD. I have been able to manage this far with coping mechanisms but I recently got divorced, have four kids and a busy job with a lot of aspects that are new to me. Now I may get fired for “lack of attention to detail” and “missing deadlines.” I wish I had looked into this so much earlier. I’m two weeks into taking Wellbutrin but I think it takes awhile to kick in, my psychiatrist suggested starting with that…
