Do I have a case?

 It is best to first speak with an employment lawyer before filing a complaint with the employer or government agency. We are helping employees all over Miami Dade and Broward County from our Miami Lakes location and are working virtually throughout the state of Florida.

Make sure to document your claim and request with the company and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or the appropriate agency such as your local county, regarding workplace safety issues regarding:

• Not allowed to Stay home and self-isolate
• Crowded work environment less than 3 feet apart,
• Large crowds of people or employees,
• no social distancing
• Employer Not Providing Protection such as no masks, gloves, wipes, eye and face protection, and respiratory protection.
• Unable to wash hands
• Get proof of your claims, documents, pictures, recordings, Doctor Notes, Diagnosis, text, emails, witnesses?
• Keep a timeline of events and names of people

There are no black and white standards to deal with the Coronavirus so before demanding any changes or refusing to work please make sure you speak to an employment attorney to make sure you carefully narrow your request to your job requirements.

If you were terminated without warning file for unemployment online with Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO).

You may also have a case if:

1. You worked for a large company
2. More than 50 Employees were terminated at the same time
3. You did not get 60-day notice before the layoffs

Speak to an employment lawyer, bring your termination notice and be prepared to discuss how you found out about the layoffs, who informed you, how you know that more than 50 employees were terminated, why certain employees were laid off an not the others, etc.
