References

Question from a noob!

Someone i employed in the past has now asked for a reference. She wasn't very good, but am i allowed to respond with this?

Thank you!!!

Supplying a bad reference could result in a defamation of character claim being made against the former employer

The safe method is to say you decline to provide a reference and you would not consider this person for employment if they reapplied for their previous position back
