FAQ
In Florida, which is an at-will employment state, an employer can fire you for any reason or no reason at all, as long as it's not illegal (e.g., discrimination).
Can You Be Fired While You're Sick? Technically, yes—but not simply because you're sick. Employers are not obligated to keep an employee indefinitely if they can no longer perform the job—even with accommodations.
You cannot be fired for taking FMLA leave or while on protected FMLA leave. However, if you don't meet any of the conditions or are unable to return to work after 12 weeks, your employer can legally terminate you.
These occur when an employee is fired in violation of contractual terms, public policy, or anti-discrimination laws. The average settlement for a wrongful termination employment lawsuit often ranges from $5,000 to over $100,000.
Do I have a wrongful termination claim in Florida? Florida law does not recognize “wrongful termination” unless it violates a contractual right or federal, state, or local laws.
Under Florida law, employers are not required to provide a reason for termination due to its at-will employment doctrine. However, it's recommended to document the reasons for termination internally to defend against any potential wrongful termination claims.
Yes. Unfortunately, in many cases you can lose your job in Florida without warning and without explanation. But not always. Employers cannot fire an employee without cause if they have an employment contract or for reasons considered to be discrimination or retaliation.
