What is At Will Employment in Florida?
Wrongful discharge cases can be complex and challenging in Florida, since Florida is an at-will employment state. At-will employment means employers may hire or fire employees for virtually any or no reason. However both state and federal laws offer protection in cases involving discrimination, sexual harassment, missing wages, whistleblowing, and the FMLA. Additionally, certain workers are except from at-will employment if they have specific stipulations in an employment contract in regards to termination.
Options for Wrongfully Fired Employees
Victims of wrongful termination do have options, including pursuing a wrongful termination lawsuit. At Sconzo Law Office, P.A., our attorneys can look over the specifics of your case to determine how to best resolve your situation.
