MIAMI, FL - Employees who report discrimination, participate in workplace investigations, or file complaints with government agencies are protected from retaliatory termination under federal and Florida law. Miami employment attorney Jason D. Berkowitz of BT Law Group (https://btattorneys.com/miami-wrongful-termination-lawyer/retaliation/) explains the legal framework protecting employees from retaliation and the remedies available to those wrongfully terminated.
According to Miami employment attorney Jason D. Berkowitz, wrongful termination retaliation occurs when an employer fires an employee because the employee engaged in a legally protected activity. Under federal laws, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, employers cannot retaliate against employees who oppose discrimination, file complaints, or participate in investigations. The Florida Civil Rights Act provides additional protection through state law.
Miami employment attorney Jason D. Berkowitz emphasizes that retaliation claims do not require proving the underlying discrimination actually occurred. "You must demonstrate that you reasonably believed the practice was unlawful, that you engaged in protected activity, and that your employer took adverse action against you because of that activity," explains Berkowitz.
