In Florida it's also illegal for an employer to fire or harass you for refusing to do an illegal act or for reporting something that is illegal. This is known as whistleblower protection.
If your employer has fired you, harassed you, demoted you or taken other adverse actions against you for opposing a company action that is illegal, attorney William Julien offers a free initial consultation to evaluate your situation and advise you of your rights. For a free consultation, call 866-569-7398 or fill out the contact form on this website. From our office in Boca Raton, we represent whistleblowers in West Palm Beach, Miami, Fort Lauderdale and throughout the state.
Protecting Florida Whistleblowers
You are protected as a whistleblower whenever you oppose a company action that is illegal. While your employer does not have to compensate you or reward you for reporting the illegal action, you are protected from adverse employer actions against you such as:
- Termination
- Transfer
- Demotion
- Reduction in hours
- Harassment
The protection only applies if you oppose something your employer is doing. It does not apply to illegal actions by other employees, such as stealing money from the employer.
Other Employment Law Claims
Employers who are willing to break the law may also be willing to violate your rights as an employee. Attorney William Julien will evaluate your whistleblower case for other violations of Florida and federal law, such as discrimination.
