pre-employment reference/background check?

Many people have been misinformed that their previous employers can only release limited info such as job title, start/end date, rehireability. However, based on my accident exposure how companies do reference check, that is rarely the case. They release the reasons for resignation and in case of termination, why the employee was fired. They also release employee's salary.
Now, I am aware there is a law against this, but the law isn't that much followed. Anyone else know why so many people are misinformed?

While it is absolutely legal for a previous employer to furnish information's relating to termination etc., such information should be genuine and true. Furnishing of false information is illegal !!
