Do I have a case?

In Florida, if an employee is not part of a union or has a contract, wrongful termination generally must be related to an EEOC-protected category or involve illegal retaliation. Read below the FAQ on Wrongful Termination and Retaliation.

In Florida, the second most common case is for unapid wages. An emooyee can also have a case if they worked and did not get paid. Employees should be paid for all hours worked and almost all employees are owed overtime unless there is an FLSA exemption, like the company is to small, or the employee falls under a job duty exempt, for example managers of departments that jo bduties are complete different than those employee they supervise plus they get paid a certain salary amount.

The best way to determine this is to complete a free case evaluation with an experienced employment law attorney, as there are many exceptions and factors that apply.

What is Wrongful Termination?

To have a case in Florida for wrongful termination, it generally needs to be related to EEOC Discrimination, Harassment, or a Hostile Work Environment.

You can also have a case for illegal retalation, meaning being terminated because you requested workers compensation benefits, Family and Medical leave, Work Accodmiation Related to your disability, religion or pregnancy, reported unpaid wages, ore refused to partipcate in illegal activity. Each case is different and some employees might have additional rights.

What is Pregnancy Discrimination?

Pregnant employees may be eligible for workplace accommodations, breastfeeding time, and be free from discrimination, harassment, a hostile work environment, and wrongful termination.

AM I Owed Overtime?

Many people believe that just because you're paid a salary, you're not entitled to overtime; however, this is not true. Almost all employees are entitled to overtime pay unless they fall under an FLSA exemption or the company does not qualify for FLSA eligibility. For example, if you manage employees or run a department, you may not be entitled to overtime if you're paid a certain salary amount.

What is the FMLA?

The Family and Medical Leave Act applies to companies with over 50 employees and gives time off with no retaliation for a serious medical condition for you or a family member for a limited amount of time.
