A person is terminated from job and applies for work elsewhere when new employer calls can they say anything negative about them?
They most certainly can. Remember he/she was terminated for a reason and they want to keep the new employer from making the same mistake of wasting money on employee physicals, etc. Being honest is the best thing, but not to be mean.

What are the legal guidelines when giving a reference on a former employee to a potential employer in Indiana?
Check with your Department of Labor. Some states, like Michigan, have a law that protects employers when giving a reference, but there are some stipulations. The information must be truthful and not misleading, and must not violate any state or federal laws. FYI - Keep reference checks in a separate file from the employees' personnel file and keep in mind the employee has a legal right to see his/her references (they actually have a right to review their entire personnel file at least once a year and may request a copy of the file's contents). The company may set the number of times a year the employee may view their file - usually once or twice. And the employer may have a rule that the request be in writing and will give the employer up to one week to comply. I always sat in the room with the employee while they were looking through their file.

Can you collect unemployment if you were fired for attendance in Florida?
Your former employer is responsible for paying a portion of your unemployment. It's really not fair to them to make them keep paying you even though they fired you for being a lousy employee. So, probably not; you might want to contact the unemployment office anyway just to make sure. In general, if you were terminated "for cause" (meaning: you got fired because of something you did, like not show up for work), you're much less likely to be able to collect unemployment than if you were "laid off".
