Can my ex employer give a different reference dependant on the pay I am getting for my new job? I have been told that if I go for a job that pays 40k (I was previously on 50k) then they would give me a favourable reference....but if I go for a job over 50k (i.e. same or higher) then they would give a reference that would detail the reasons for me leaving (an allegation of theft...which is untrue, not proved and wasn't heard in a disciplinary as they accepted my resignation)
is this legal?
