what can a new employer do to check employment through a family business?

what can a new employer do to check employment through a family business?
the reference given to them was from the family business accountant who is also related. (makes sense to keep money within family if possible) they are treating me like this is unacceptable. what other ways can they check employment history dates etc. I am so worried as I really need the money.

Answer 1 :
Apaprt from not believe you there is nothing they can do. They have to either trust you and accept that even if they checked the reference your family would lie for you, or not give you the job. You should probably get some 'real' references as well.
Answer 2 :
Usually someone you have know for at least 2-5 years who can verify your ability to do the job you are applying for, someone who is able to tell them about stuff like your attendance and efficiency for doing your last job. This should work, maybe a good friend or business professional. Good luck!
