Is Florida an "At-Will" State?

Florida is an “at-will” employment state, which means your employer can sever your employment at any time and for nearly any reason or no reason at all. However, there are certain situations where it is unlawful to terminate employment.

What Does Wrongful Termination Look Like?

There are many reasons for which an employer who was fired can claim wrongful termination as long as they can prove a connection between their termination and a protected action they took at work.

The following are examples of possible wrongful termination:

• Your employer lays you off because you spoke out against an unlawful business practice.
• You were fired “at-will” shortly after reporting sexual harassment.
• A manager discharges you after you said you would report his racist comments about a coworker.
• An employer terminates you for demanding payment of overtime hours.

Can You be Terminated Because You’re Over 50?

The short answer is no. Age is a protected class in the United States at both the federal and state level. It is considered age discrimination if you are fired because of your age. Age discrimination covers all parts of your employment. So you can't get lower pay, get passed over for promotions, or get laid off because of your age.

If you were let go for reasons related to your age, you may have been wrongfully terminated in Florida. Get in touch with an experienced Clearwater wrongful termination lawyer today.
