Employment & Labor Cases We Handle in Florida
Employment and labor law in Florida operates within a complex framework of state and federal regulations, with cases handled primarily through the Florida court system and federal district courts. The state's Civil Rights Act provides additional protections beyond federal law, while Florida's right-to-work statute affects union activities. Miami-Dade, Broward, and Orange counties see high volumes of employment litigation due to their large, diverse workforces. Florida attorneys must navigate both state-specific employment statutes and federal regulations in this rapidly growing employment market.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Florida's statute of limitations for employment discrimination claims?
Florida employment discrimination claims must be filed with the Florida Commission on Human Relations within 365 days of the alleged discriminatory act. This is longer than the federal EEOC deadline, providing additional time for state law claims in Florida.
Does Florida require employers to provide meal and rest breaks?
Florida does not require employers to provide meal or rest breaks for employees 18 years or older, following federal standards. However, if breaks are provided, Florida law requires that breaks under 20 minutes be paid time.
How do I find a qualified employment attorney in Florida?
Look for attorneys licensed by The Florida Bar with specific experience in employment law and familiarity with Florida's employment statutes. Many Florida employment attorneys offer free consultations and work on contingency fees for discrimination and wrongful termination cases.
