What does subject to references mean?

What are you allowed to write in a reference?
If your employer gives you a reference, they can make it as short as they like. A lot of references only say what your job title was and when you worked there. The reference has to be accurate. Your employer can’t say anything that’s not true.

References should be denoted numerically and in sequence in the text, using superscript. Information from manuscripts submitted but not accepted should be credited in the text as “unpublished observations” with written permission from the source and should not be cited or included in the reference list.
What does Subject to satisfactory references mean?
Courts will interpret ‘satisfactory references’ as meaning ‘satisfactory in the opinion of the prospective employer’ but it is worth making this explicit in the offer. If an offer of employment made without this caveat has been accepted, it cannot simply be withdrawn and it will probably be necessary to give notice.
