How long you've worked there, what you job involved, what your responsibilites were, how well you worked, personal qualities...
Could be anything from would you reemploy through to how many days off sick....
I had to get several of my bosses to write me a reference for my current job. I knew both of them really well so the references were good and written in a managers style.

And you can be sued by the employer for giving a too good reference - it's a fine line.
Attendance and Punctuality are the two biggies in my line of work
this is a good point. employers are not allowed to give bad references. the way round this though is this new question.... would you re-employ the person? on the reference document sent by the new employer.
