Employment LawAre You Wondering What You Can Do If Your Employer Violates Your Rights In Florida?

Sometimes, employers behave poorly. And when they do, their actions may violate your rights under the law. Perhaps you’ve been the object of harassment or discrimination at work based on your race, religion, or sex. You may have been demoted or fired for taking medical leave. In other cases, your employer may have neglected to pay you the overtime you were entitled to by law.

There are a host of state and federal employment laws your employer is required to comply with, including…

  • Title VII of the Civil Rights Act 
  • Age Discrimination Act
  • Equal Pay Act
  • Fair Labor Standards Act
  • Family and Medical Leave Act

In addition, Florida has its own employment laws governing:

  • Fair employment and discrimination
  • Minimum wage and hours
  • Payment of wages
  • Time off and leaves of absence
  • Child labor
  • And more . . .

The complexity and enormity of employment law are no excuse for an employer to be ignorant of or willfully non-compliant with these laws. They must obey the law and respect your rights.

What Does “Employment At Will” Mean?

Employment at will is a contractual relationship between an employee and an employer. Under this agreement, employees can quit at their discretion, and the employer cannot sue them. Conversely, an employer can fire an employee at any time, and the employee cannot sue the employer.

Employment at will also means you can be fired at any time for a lawful reason. You cannot be terminated for unlawful reasons. For example, being fired for your skin color, national origin, race, age, sex, disability, or religion would be an unlawful reason or wrongful termination. 

What Is “Wrongful Termination” Under Florida Law?

Wrongful termination means that someone was fired unlawfully. For example, if an employee is fired because of their membership in a protected category or for standing up for their rights, that would be an unlawful termination. 

This law also protects employees from employer retaliation. For instance, if an employee feels that their employer is sexually harassing them, they have the right to file a complaint with the human resources department without fearing retaliation from their employer.
