Florida is a “Right to Work” state, meaning you can be fired for any
reason so long as that reason is not illegal. Various and overlapping
Federal and State laws protect employees from work-place discrimination
based on race, national origin, sex, religion, age, disability or
pregnancy. In addition, it is illegal to discriminate against an
employee for pursuing workers’ compensation benefits or in retaliation
for making certain discrimination claims. You may also have protection
under the Family Medical Leave Act if you miss time from work due to the
illness of yourself or certain family members.
If you think you
are the victim of such work-place discrimination, you must act quickly
to protect your rights. In most instances, you must file a claim with
the EEOC or the Florida Commission on Human Relations within one year of
the discriminatory action. If you feel you have been discriminated
against in hiring, promotion, compensation or termination, take
advantage of our free case review or contact our office for a free
consultation.
