Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida
Giving References
My former employer, when asked by a prospective employer to whom I had provided her as a reference, replied that she ''could not recommend me''.
Is that defamation, or is she protected because she is just offering her opinion?

Based upon the information you've provided, the employer's communication would seem to fall within the statutory immunity conferred on employers for those types of opinions.
