Often I am asked about wrongful termination by Florida Employees. Florida is an "at twill employment state". This means that an employer change your position or terminate you without a reason. There are certain reasons which are prohibited. These deal primarily with constitutionally protected rights like age, sex, religion, and national origin.

While it is much harder to file a claim against your employer if there is no reason given, certin things may lead to evidence which suggests your termination was wrongful.

If you believe your termination was for an invalid reason you should contact a Florida Employment lawyer to protect your rights.

In most cases it is not illegal to harass a person. When the harrassment deals with a constitutionally protected right (Age, Race, National Origin, or Sex) you have have a claim against an employeer.

Generally you must report the claim as outlined in company handbooks as a first step.

If you believe you job was affected because of one of these constitutionally protected areas, you should Contact a Florida Employment Lawyer to discuss your options.
