What is Wrongful Termination Based on Discrimination in Miami, Florida? - BT Law Group, PLLC
Episode Description
From BT Law Group, PLLC – What is Wrongful Termination Based on Discrimination in Miami, Florida? explores the legal protections available to employees who are fired due to race, age, pregnancy, disability, or other protected characteristics. This episode offers a clear and practical overview of wrongful termination laws under both Florida Statutes § 760.10 and federal laws such as Title VII, the ADA, and the ADEA, while examining how discrimination can be disguised under vague “performance issues” or sudden policy shifts.
Listeners will gain insight into how at-will employment works in Florida and why it does not give employers unlimited power to terminate workers without consequence. The discussion breaks down the key protected traits covered by law — including marital status, a unique protection under Florida law — and highlights how local Miami-Dade ordinances offer additional safeguards, such as protections for LGBTQ+ employees. Learn how timing, witness statements, and employer patterns can play a crucial role in proving discrimination claims.
We also speak on the vital role of federal and local enforcement agencies such as the EEOC Miami District Office and the Florida Commission on Human Relations, and how their work-sharing agreement ensures your rights are preserved under both state and federal law. The podcast walks you through critical next steps after a discriminatory termination, from filing a charge to gathering evidence and documenting conversations. Learn how to meet crucial deadlines and protect your legal options.
