Forced Resignation – Forced resignations in Florida can happen if an employer creates a hostile work environment or pressures the employee to quit. This situation is referred to as constructive discharge, which can be deemed illegal if it occurs due to discrimination or retaliation.
Yes. Employees can sue for wrongful termination if they believe they were fired for discriminatory reasons or in violation of their employment contract. Florida, like many states, follows the at-will employment doctrine, which allows employers to terminate employees for any reason that is not illegal or discriminatory.
Wrongful termination as a claim generally does not exist in Florida, but there are exceptions. Florida is an at-will state, which means an employer may fire, demote, hire, promote and discipline employees for pretty much any reason, or no reason at all.
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.
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.
While “wrongful termination” is not broadly recognized under Florida law, certain types of termination are legally actionable if they breach employment laws or agreements.
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.
