📎 Authorization to Release Employment Information.docx
This seems like the facility's requirement/policy and not any legal
requirement. It is definitely more burdensome than other facilities in my
experience. Short summary is that it's a business decision to determine
whether it is financially worth it to meet these requests as my guess is if
we push back the facility may say take it or leave it.

Note some offices do accommodate these types of requests and in those cases
get caregivers to authorize the release of their employment information.
Attached is a template other offices have used.

Let me know if you want to discuss further.
