Employment References All employment verification or reference requests on current or former employees are to be referred to the  DFO.  The  DFO  will normally release only last title and dates of employment. All other requests for information on current or former employees also are to be referred to the  DFO  who will consider and respond to the request, and/or refer them to the Senior Minister. Requests for employment verification for credit or mortgage purposes should also be referred to the  DFO. Other information will be provided only if the employee has executed a release.
