In Florida there is no such thing as wrongful termination. Florida is an at will state. What that means is that an employer can fire an employee for anything as long as it’s not because of a protective characteristic. When someone says wrongful termination it’s my understanding that they’re referring to being fired because of race, national original, gender, religion, the protective characteristic.
