    You can give an entirely accurate reference which you can back up with facts. I'm still amazed at two muppets who I sacked for theft giving me as a referee!

    No it doesnt- he was late a couple of times and didnt pass his probation, this desnt mean to say he is incompetant!. People can have serious problems going on which make them mess up.They can sort the issue and move on.
    I think the OP needs to find out what they will say in a reference first and then plan from there. if its just a standard reference then he will not have to worry.

    He was late for a 5.30pm start - that is a bit different to being late at 8am!
