I don't think it's a legal requirement, but you do open yourself up to legal action (by the employee) if you do supply a negative reference (libel for instance).

Prospective employers will know the bad stuff from what's omitted. Eg if the line "Mr x was punctual" is not in the reference you'd know that he wasn't punctual.

Yes... I know. I was just responding to the "not permitted to give a bad reference" post.

does the reference pass from ex-employer directly to the potential employer? Always figured that the ex-employee could just bin the reference if he/she didn't like it, that's not how it works? (Never had a reference written for me before)
