Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Employment Verification

I was terminated from a private employer in Florida. When a prospective employer calls the previous position to verify employment, how much information can be disclosed? I have learned that the previous employer is giving reasons for termination. Can they do that in Florida? I am concerned because what they say might prevent me from gaining new employment.
