It depends on who is asking and what place you are in.
In Canada the appropriate government agencies must be answered fully and honestly.
If you are calling asking if an employee was fired, layed off or quit we are now only allowed to confirm employment not the reason for departure.

What is an employer required to do when firing an employee?
No law requires employers to offer fired employees a reason or advance notice. That is called the principle of employment at will. Employers must clearly state the effective date of the discharge, and must pay the former employee for all wages earned up to dismissal. Most states require payment on the next regular payday after dismissal. AFTER firing and employee, the employer may have to offer an explanation to state agencies to defeat a claim for unemployment benefits, or a charge of illegal discrimination. That's about all.
Why do some employers have a policy against rehiring former employees even after they were good employees?
