“You’re fired!” – Understanding Florida’s Employment Laws
Florida is an “at-will” employment state. In other words, companies can terminate their employees for pretty much any reason (or no reason at all) unless there’s a contract in place that says otherwise. However, even in an at-will state like Florida, firing someone is rarely simple. Terminations can lead to lawsuits.
Both employers and employees need to understand their rights and responsibilities under the law.
In this article, we will walk you through the ins and outs of Florida firing laws, including legal grounds for termination, potential liabilities, and steps you can take to ensure terminations are both legal and ethical.
