The Process

Can you be fired without warning? How long do you have to file a wrongful termination lawsuit in Florida? Where do you file a claim of employment discrimination? What are my rights as an employee in Florida?

• Generally speaking, unless you have an employment contract or are part of a union, Florida employees are at will employees, meaning that they can be terminated for whatever reason and without warning but like everything in law, there are exceptions. If your wrongful termination claim is based on discrimination, you would likely need to file a complaint with the Federal Government via the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). 
• Many other employment law claims can be filed directly in court without going to the EEOC. You can sue an employer for wrongful termination in Florida but compared to other types of claims, generally you have a short time to start a wrongful termination case. Depending if you work for the government or a private company and even what type of claim your alleging, will determine how long you have to start a case but it can be as short as 90 days, 180 days, 300 days or as long as 3 years, do not wait and speak to employment law attorney as soon as possible to know your rights.
• Discrimination is only one type of wrongful termination case but employees are also protected from by the FMLA and retaliation due to complaints of illegal activity, requests for workers compensation, unpaid wages just as an example.
• Wrongful termination is difficult to prove without the expert legal advice of an employment law attorney. Alberto Naranjo has successfully represented numerous clients across the state, securing lost wages and future wages due to wrongful termination after proving employees where terminated in violation of the law. Wrongful termination can be based on several violations such as on the basis of discrimination against a protected class, workplace discrimination, pregnancy discrimination, sexual harassment, illegal retaliation and more.

 Did you know that some people belong to a “protected class” or group that shares a common trait--race, ethnicity, gender, etc.? 

• Proving workplace discrimination occurred is incredibly difficult without the help of an experienced employment law attorney. Examples of a protected category is race, color, age, national origin, religion, sex, gender, pregancy, or disability. 
• Workplace discrimination on the basis of one or more of these protected traits is against the law. 
• Workplace discrimination is, regrettably, something we deal with daily. Whether it’s a pregnant woman passed up for a promotion she’s otherwise qualified for or a supervisor’s blatant refusal to provide reasonable accommodations for a newly disabled employee, workplace discrimination manifests in many different ways.
