Florida Employment Law

Our Doral team also addresses employment issues under Florida law, extending workplace protections specific to the state:

  • Florida Civil Rights Act: Prohibits discrimination in the workplace based on race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, national origin, age, handicap, or marital status.
  • Florida Minimum Wage Act: Sets the state minimum wage, which was recently raised to $12.00 per hour as of September 30, 2023. Employers must comply with this rate for all eligible employees.
  • Florida Whistleblower Act: Protects employees who report illegal activities or unsafe conditions from employer retaliation.
  • Florida’s Workers’ Compensation Law: Provides coverage for work-related injuries and prohibits employer retaliation against employees who file compensation claims.
  • Florida Domestic Violence Leave Law: Allows employees up to three days of unpaid leave to handle legal, medical, or counseling needs related to domestic violence incidents.
  • Trade Secrets and Restrictive Covenants: Covers employment issues such as non-compete agreements and protection of trade secrets, particularly if an employer’s actions are overly restrictive or misapplied.
  • Unpaid Bonuses and Commissions: Ensures employees are compensated as per the agreed-upon terms for earned bonuses and commissions.

Common Employment Law Issues in Doral

Doral employees frequently face the following employment law issues, which Cantrell Schuette’s attorneys are well-equipped to address:

  1. Wage and Hour Violations: Common issues include unpaid wages, failure to pay overtime, and minimum wage violations. In Doral, employees have additional protections under Pinellas County’s Wage Theft and Recovery Ordinance for recovering unpaid wages.
  2. Discrimination and Harassment: Claims often involve unfair treatment or a hostile work environment based on race, religion, gender, age, or disability. Both the Florida Civil Rights Act and Title VII protect against such discriminatory practices.
  3. Retaliation Claims: Employees are protected under Florida’s whistleblower laws and federal anti-retaliation laws when reporting workplace violations, such as unsafe conditions or discrimination. Retaliation can include wrongful termination, demotion, or disciplinary actions.
  4. Family and Medical Leave Violations: Violations may occur when employers deny eligible employees FMLA leave or retaliate against them for taking it. Doral employees are encouraged to document any denial or retaliation related to medical leave.
  5. Wrongful Termination: While Florida is an at-will employment state, terminations that occur for illegal reasons, such as discrimination or retaliation, are unlawful.
  6. Non-Compete and Restrictive Covenants: Our attorneys challenge overly restrictive non-compete agreements and similar covenants that unduly limit future employment opportunities.
  7. Workplace Safety Violations: OSHA standards protect employees from hazardous working conditions. Retaliation for reporting these conditions is unlawful, and employees in Doral are encouraged to report unsafe practices.
