Employment lawyers in Palmetto Bay Florida assist workers with issues like wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, and unpaid wages. Florida law does not have a private right of action for most employment discrimination claims, so cases often rely on federal statutes like Title VII or the Florida Civil Rights Act. Local attorneys can guide you through filing charges with the EEOC or the Florida Commission on Human Relations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the time limit to file an employment claim in Florida?
Under the Florida Civil Rights Act, you have 365 days from the alleged violation to file a charge with the Florida Commission on Human Relations. For federal claims under Title VII, the deadline is 300 days. Missing these deadlines can bar your claim.
Can I be fired for any reason in Florida?
Florida is an at-will employment state, meaning an employer can terminate you for any reason that is not illegal. However, you cannot be fired for reasons that violate state or federal law, such as discrimination based on race, sex, age, or disability, or in retaliation for reporting illegal activity.
What damages can I recover in an employment lawsuit in Florida?
Depending on the claim, you may recover back pay, front pay, emotional distress damages, punitive damages, and attorney fees. Caps apply under the Florida Civil Rights Act, with total damages limited to $100,000 for employers with 15 to 100 employees.
