My primary job allows outside employment if that employment is less than 32 hours per week.

I found that my primary job recently contacted my 2nd job (via phone) and sought (and RECEIVED !) employment information via the phone regarding my work there (number of hours worked, etc).

It was my belief that companies must request employment information of this nature via written correspondence (information requested, reason for request, etc).

The purpose of this request was intimidation; impossible to prove, but that was the purpose (that is not only my biased interpretation, but that of several fellow workers).

I've kept this question brief and general; I can supply additional information if needed.

Thanks for you replies.

It is not illegal to contact current and/or former employers. It is also not unlawful for those employers to supply information long as its truthful or they believe it truthful
