While “wrongful termination” is not broadly recognized under Florida law, certain types of termination are legally actionable if they breach employment laws or agreements.

Yes! Although most civil claims do not escalate to the courtroom, some do.
Florida has no statewide policy concerning sick leave, except for what has been negotiated for government employees like public school teachers. Private employers are not legally bound to offer sick leave—and if you take time off without following your company's handbook—your employer can dismiss 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.
Workers who prevail in a wrongful termination claim often get awarded between $5,000 and $100,000 in compensation. However, each case is different. There is no single “average” wrongful termination. Numerous factors can change how much a particular case is worth.
In many cases, you will need to show a lack of any other explanation. For example, if an employee has no negative performance reviews but receives one immediately after filing a complaint, they have a strong case for a retaliation lawsuit.
Florida law does not require employers to give employees any ``work breaks'' nor for time off for ``sick leave.'' Unless you have a written employment contract that entitles you to sick leave you are not entitled to take it, nor are you protected from termination if you do not go into work-for ANY reason.
