Under Florida law, an individual can be fired for any reason. Employees in Florida who are employed without contracts are considered to be “at-will,” meaning that they can be dismissed at the discretion of their employer at any time and for any reason. The federal and state employment discrimination laws essentially provide an exception to the employment at-will doctrine.

Employment discrimination is the unlawful use of age, race, gender, color, national origin or religion to deny an individual either an opportunity to work or to work under the same conditions as others.

One must be able to prove that:

• They are a member of a protected class;
  
  
• Discrimination was evident in the terms or conditions of employment;
  
  
• As a result of a wrongful termination damages were suffered;
  
  

Additionally, a wrongful termination claim may be sought against an employer if the termination of your employment was the result of:

• An act of retaliation for a previous employment law claim;
  
  
• An act of retaliation for reporting unacceptible and unlawful actions by other employees, manageent, or owners of the business;
  
  
• An act of retaliation for a previous whistle blower incident.

• That an adverse employment action then occurred;
  
  
• That the adverse employment action was causally related to the employee's statutorily protected activities;
