Knowing Employment Law in Florida
Florida is an at-will employment state, meaning employers have broad authority to terminate workers—except for illegal reasons. Employees are still protected by state and federal laws against discrimination, wage violations, retaliation, and other workplace misconduct. Our Boca Raton employment lawyers assist clients in resolving issues involving:
- Employee Retaliation
- Employee Rights
- Employer Handbook Consulting
- Employer Non-Compete Agreements
- Employer Payroll Audits
- Employment Contracts
- Employee Discrimination
- Healthcare Labor & Employment Law
- Non-Compete Agreements
- Unpaid Wages
- Whistleblower Law
- Workplace Harassment
- Workplace Training
- Wrongful Termination
Employment Harassment & Discrimination
Federal statutes like Title VII and the Florida Civil Rights Act protect Boca Raton employees from workplace discrimination based on race, sex, age, disability, national origin, religion, pregnancy, and marital status. Sexual harassment and hostile work environments are also prohibited under these laws. If you’ve experienced mistreatment at work, our firm can help you file with the EEOC or FCHR or pursue a resolution through litigation or negotiation.
Retaliation and Wrongful Termination
If you were fired for reporting discrimination, filing complaints, raising wage concerns, or participating in an investigation, your termination may have been unlawful. Our Boca Raton employment lawyers fight for your reinstatement, compensation, and peace of mind by helping you file claims for retaliation and wrongful termination.
Non-Compete Agreements and Employment Contracts
South Florida employers commonly use non-compete agreements to protect client relationships, trade secrets, and confidential business information. These agreements are only enforceable in Florida if they are reasonable in scope, duration, and geographic reach. Whether you’re an employee challenging a non-compete or a business needing to enforce one, we offer practical and experienced legal guidance.
Wage and Hour Conflicts in Boca Raton
Florida law and the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) guarantee minimum wage and overtime pay to non-exempt employees. If you’ve been denied overtime, misclassified as an independent contractor, or not paid for hours worked, we can help recover your earnings. We also work with Boca Raton businesses to conduct proactive payroll audits and correct classification issues before they result in litigation.
Workplace Protections for Whistleblowers
Florida’s Whistleblower Act protects employees who report fraud, safety violations, or unlawful activity. If you’ve been demoted, disciplined, or terminated after speaking up, we can help you assert your legal rights and pursue compensation. We handle whistleblower claims with discretion and care, keeping your reputation and future in mind.
Severance Plans and Employment Agreements
Whether you’re negotiating a new job or transitioning out of a position, it’s vital to understand the terms of your employment or severance agreement. We help both employers and employees in Boca Raton draft, review, and negotiate enforceable contracts that protect your rights and reduce the risk of future disputes.
Employment Law Advisory Services for Boca Raton Companies
Scott Law Team regularly advises Boca Raton businesses on employment law compliance and workforce management. From drafting employee handbooks and workplace policies to handling investigations and staff training, we help companies stay compliant, mitigate risk, and operate confidently.
HIPAA Compliance and Healthcare Employment
Boca Raton healthcare providers must comply with HIPAA and a wide range of labor regulations. We assist medical practices, dental offices, and home healthcare agencies with HIPAA training, policy development, and employment practices to avoid costly violations and ensure legal compliance.
Filing with the Florida Commission on Human Relations or EEOC
If you’ve experienced discrimination, harassment, or retaliation at work, your first step may be filing a formal complaint with the EEOC or Florida Commission on Human Relations (FCHR). Our attorneys assist with document review, claim preparation, and representation throughout investigations, mediations, or legal proceedings.
