Are there any laws in the state of California limiting what a previous employer and tell a prospective employer about an ex employee?

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.

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.
