It remains legal in every state to tell the factual truth about employees and former employees.
"I fired Jim for attendance problems", can never be the basis for a defamation suit IF ...
1. I DID fire Jim, and
2. My reason was his absence record.
Jim need not agree with my decision to make my statement factually correct.

I don't know about in California but I heard that an employer is not allowed to tell anything about an ex employee unless used as a reference. If you just use the employer as a previous job all they are supposed to be allowed to verify is that you did work there and the dates. However if you put them down as a reference and a prospective employer calls them they can elaborate on your character as well.
