Employee Rights in Florida's At-Will Employment

Florida is an at-will employment state. This means that an employer can fire an employee for virtually any reason, at any time, with no requirements for advance notice. However, this doesn't mean you have no legal protections. Several federal and state labor laws, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, protect employees from unlawful termination.

Common Reasons for Wrongful Termination in Florida

Additional Employee Protections Under Florida Law

  • Report their employer's violations of the law
  • Participate in investigation involving an employer's potential violations
  • File a workers’ compensation claim

Additionally, the federal Workers Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act requires a 60 days' notice if an employer intends to lay off either 50 or more employees in one location or a third of their full-time workforce.
