No. "She wasn't a good fit, because all our other employees aren't total skanks or drugged-out thieves" would be slander or defamation of character. "She wasn't a good fit", full stop, is pretty neutral.
Is a previous employer allowed to tell a prospective employer you were fired when you were not in Nevada?
Prospective means: 1. of or in the future: prospective earnings. 2. potential, likely, or expected: a prospective partner. A prospective employer is an employer for whom you might work in the future or have a possibility of working (for example, an employer to whom you have applied for work or for whom you would like to work), but you are not yet working.
There is NO federal law on this; it is a state-by-state issue. Never can an employer be sued for telling the truth, "Pat was fired 15 days ago", since that's true. In many states, a former employer cannot be subject to a suit for defamation for revealing even more details to a prospective employer. A growing trend is to extend "privilege" to the former employer for anything it says about your performance, attendance, or skill. Privileged communication means no defamation suit is possible. Washington employers gained that privilege last year. Check your state rules.
A former employer may inform a prospective employer at his discretion.
