Florida does not recognize the concept of “wrongful termination.” Florida is an “at will” employment state, meaning an employee can be fired at any time for any reason, as long as it is not an illegal reason. Illegal reasons include whistleblower violations and anti-discrimination law violations.

Protected characteristics under anti-discrimination laws include:

• Age
• Disability
• Equal Pay/Compensation
• Genetic Information
• Harassment
• National Origin
• Pregnancy
• Race/Color
• Religion
• Retaliation
• Sex
• Sexual Harassment
• Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
