Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Condidentiality of Termination

I was resently terminated for ''code of conduct'' violation when I took some medications from work in attempt at suicide. I have gone through treatment and filed for unemployment while job searching. My previous employer told the unemployment office every detail of the reason for my termination on exactly what I did and now I feel as though I am being judged. Was this a violation of my confidentiality? I thought the only information to ve given was how long I worked for them and if I was rehirable?

Unfortunately, your understanding of the law is incorrect. Your employer is fully within its rights to provide Unemployment, as well as future employers, the true facts concerning your termination. Moreover, under the Florida Unemployment law, your termination appears to have been for misconduct which disqualifies you from benefits.
