Is it legal for former employer to give information about salary history during background check?

Thanks

Not only is it legal, but it's quite common.

Ditto on that. There are a number of items that can be discussed. For some reason many believe that, in the absence of any agreement, they have privacy rights. You'd be surprised what turns up in background checks...
