A former employee is a person who used to work for the company but no longer do. This includes those that were let go or that quit on their own.
A past employer may give a prospective employer an overview of the employee's employment record. They can give their opinion about the employee's character.
If it is positive. You shouldn't say anything negative (especailly personally) about an employee, (former). If they didn't get the job or heard what you said, they could sue you.
Present employer is allowed to call past employer. However, past employer is not obligated to say anything without a signed waiver from employee ... which is what most employers are doing now to protect themselves.
no
Yes. It is the employee's responsibilty to ensure their salary is correct.
If you are asked for a performance review from a past employer then you should reach out to your former manager. If you can't get a performance review, then you should use the manager as a reference.
Absolutely anything it wishes to say. Former employers SHOULD stick to facts, but no defamation law requires that.

Was the employee forewarned of the consequences of his or her actions? Are the employer's rules reasonably related to business efficiency and performance the employer might reasonably expect from the employee? Was an effort made before discharge to determine whether the employee was guilty as charged? Was the investigation conducted fairly and objectively? Did the employer obtain substantial evidence of the employee's guilt? Were the rules applied fairly and without discrimination? Was the degree of discipline reasonably related to the seriousness of the employee's offense and the employee's past record?
Few statutes prohibit employers from saying anything about former employees. Defamation law imposes no liability for saying the truth about a former employee (or anyone). Former employee permission is never required. Some employers insist on it just to deflect liability - which doesn't exist.
The OWNER can do as he wishes - he is never an employee. The sole EMPLOYEE, a non-owner, must be paid for all work. The employer has no choice. If the employer cannot afford wages, it must have no employees.
