Miami Employment Law FAQ - What Employees Should Know

Common Questions About Miami Employment Law

  • Employees in Miami and throughout Florida are protected under state and federal employment laws, including the Florida Civil Rights Act (FCRA), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). These laws protect against workplace discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, and wage violations. Miami employees may also be covered by local protectionsunder the Miami-Dade Human Rights Ordinance. If your rights have been violated, you can file a claim with the Florida Commission on Human Relations (FCHR) or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

  • If you are facing workplace discrimination in Miami, you can:

    • File a charge with the Florida Commission on Human Relations (FCHR) within 365 days of the violation.

    • File with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) within 300 days of the discriminatory act.

    • If in Miami-Dade County, you may also file with the Miami-Dade Commission on Human Rights (MDCHR) for additional local protections.

    Common discrimination claims involve race, gender, age, disability, pregnancy, sexual orientation, and more. Consulting a Miami employment lawyer can help ensure your claim is properly filed and maximizes your chances of success.

  • Florida is an at-will employment state, meaning employers can terminate employees for any legal reason. However, firing an employee for discriminatory reasons, retaliation, or whistleblower activity is illegal. If you were fired for:

    ✅ Reporting workplace discrimination or harassment

    ✅ Filing a wage complaint or EEOC charge

    ✅ Refusing to engage in illegal employer activities

    You may have a wrongful termination case under Florida employment laws. A Miami wrongful termination lawyercan help protect your rights.

  • If you experience sexual harassment in a Miami workplace, follow these steps:

    • Document all incidents (dates, times, witnesses, and offensive behavior).

    • Report the harassment to HR or a supervisor following company procedures.

    • File a complaint with the EEOC, FCHR, or MDCHR if the employer does not take corrective action.

    • Consult a Miami sexual harassment lawyer to discuss your legal options.

    Florida law protects employees from quid pro quo harassment and hostile work environments, and employers may be held liable for failing to prevent harassment.

  • If your employer fails to pay you properly, you can:

    ✅ File a federal wage complaint with the Department of Labor (DOL).

    ✅ Work with a Miami wage & hour lawyer to recover unpaid wages, overtime, or misclassified earnings.

    Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the Florida Minimum Wage Act (FMWA), Miami employees are entitled to minimum wage, overtime pay, and timely paychecks. Common violations include unpaid overtime, misclassification as an independent contractor, and wage theft.

  • While you can file discrimination claims yourself, working with a Miami employment lawyer can increase your chances of success. An attorney can:

    • Determine if your case qualifies under state, federal, or local laws.

    • File complaints with the EEOC, FCHR, or Miami-Dade Human Rights Commission.

    • Negotiate a settlement or represent you in litigation.

    If your employer has violated your rights, a Miami employment law firm can help you seek justice.
