Once I started here, they followed up with my most recent employer to confirm income. If I would have lied, it would have been grounds for termination.
Ok, maybe I am wrong, but how is this even legal?
I know that when someone calls a previous employer, they are only allowed to say your employment dates, your title, terminated/resigned.... They can't give any additional commentary.
ETA: Just looked it up, it varies heavily from state to state and there are some pretty stiff penalties if the employer discloses anything outside of what is in the law.

Salary isn't really commentary. I am pretty sure my current employer is well versed in what is legal as well as ESS, who specializes in it. Previous employers provided that info as well.
I have no issues with it

It's not in many states. I know you can't in La or Tx.
