I think you should not disclose your internal matter and specially which will play hinderance to his career - gainst whatever would be the matter.
You can tell the agency that is resigned for better prospects.
For punishing him for his mistakes you can imply suitable penanlty within limits of his earnings.

dont ever comment any negative factors about the employee as it will affect his future career which will be a barrier to join in new companies

Dear Neha,
Here's a script followed by an industry leader during the background verifaction. You may not answer all the questions depending on the confidentiality to be maintained by your organization. However, you may choose to validate, what you have been asked. As suggested by other members, please avoid any subjective feedback. Keep it purely data oriented and factual.
Moreover, if you have fired an employee, you must have issued a clearance letter. Have you mentioned the reason for the change in the employment status, with the company? Most of the time, those letters do not share any details about termination. Since you have not issued it in writing, please keep it safe and do not give any such information verbally.
Incase, the employee had done something terminally wrong and you had to publish it in the news paper as fraudulent activity. Then the matter stands different. If the termination had been due to an internal dissonance , please avoid talking about it. You have already set it even by terminating the employee.

Thanks a lot for your instant replies..
But if i am asked that why did the employee left or why was he fired? My answer is "He was a trainee & he could not perform well so he was being fired so then this of course a negative feedback for him & it can barrier for his/her future" So what should be done in this case?

Hi Neha,
The future of candidate many a times rely on what kind of reference we are giving, just think from this perspective if you are selected somewhere but because your last employer perception was not good, and they say all negative how would it go with you...
Similarly here, if a trainee could not perform and you told the next employer is actually a negative feedback which can not become an obstacle for this guy/girl.
Unless, there is something which is of serious nature such as, theft, sexual harrasment, physical harrasment, violence, and other things of similar nature one should refrain from saying negative remarks. I know people will think why not to be honest in such cases, and the answer is the perception of how and what we feel about the candidate can differ from the next employer. and just because some one did not perform in our company does not mean she/he cannot cannot be given another chance.
Now, if you have already given your reference, nothing can be done. :(

Dear Neha,
There may be several reasons for which "Trainee" could not perform and there may be some issues from employer side.
Did you prepare the development plan to minimize the performance gap as it is the duty of each and every employer to take care of its employees for future growth and prospects.
I would request you to think logically and function as a human being.
Hope this will help you.
