No, you are not required to fill out a verification form. The fact is that there is no legal obligation for a company to fill out any forms or provide any assistance or help if it does not want to. Your former worker should be able to provide evidence and documentation of employment in other ways such as providing pay stubs, copies of pay checks, statements from a payroll processor, a W-2 from last year, etc.
