"Hi, I'm Gloria Campbell with Advantage Training Systems. We're located in Saint Petersburg, Florida. You've been called to give a negative reference for an employee. What do you do? You first want to make sure you review your company's policy. Your company may have a policy of not giving out any information beyond the dates and the time that that employee worked for you. But make sure that once you understand the company's policy that any information that you give that is negative, it does not have a personal connotation. Make sure that you can document it. For instance, if that employee was absent a lot and you can document that fifty percent of the time they were absent or that that individual was tardy seventy percent of the time, most days, then you have the authority and you have the right to give that type of information to a future employee. Giving negative information or a negative reference can be tricky. Make sure you understand your company's policy and make sure that it's not personal and that it's subjective. My name is Gloria Campbell with Advantage Training Systems in Saint Petersburg, Florida. If you're going to give a negative reference make sure you can back it up with the facts."
