Qualified privilege refers to the legal right granted to employers, allowing them to speak candidly and honestly about a former or current employee's performance without fear of legal repercussion, provided the information shared is done so without malice. This is crucial in the context of background investigations or reference checks where an employer needs to know about an applicant's work history and conduct.
