MIAMI, FL - Employees in Florida face wrongful termination when employers fire them for reasons that violate federal or state law, despite the state's at-will employment doctrine. Miami employment attorney Jason D. Berkowitz of BT Law Group, PLLC (https://btattorneys.com/common-reasons-for-wrongful-termination/) outlines the most common wrongful termination scenarios and the legal protections available to workers throughout South Florida.
According to Miami employment attorney Jason D. Berkowitz, at-will employment means employers can terminate workers at any time for any lawful reason or no reason at all. However, federal and state laws prohibit termination based on protected characteristics, retaliation for whistleblowing, requesting medical leave, or complaining about wage violations. When an employer violates these protections, the termination becomes wrongful under the law.
Miami employment attorney Jason D. Berkowitz emphasizes that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, gender, or national origin. The Florida Civil Rights Act provides similar protections under state law. Other federal laws protect additional characteristics, including the Americans with Disabilities Act prohibiting discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act protecting workers age 40 and older.
