When giving a reference, you must disclose information the future employer needs to know about your ex-employee. o The employee has received many "good" performance appraisals. Well, besides officially letting them know you have sacked them, you'll now need to negotiate severance agreements. Without strong standards for employee separation, you'll find it difficult to layoff the disgruntled individual quickly enough.
