Florida is called an "at will" state which means that an employer can fire anyone without a reason except for race, gender, religion, age. If she misses time from work, Burger King can legally fire her, even if the reason sounds understandable.
Did she have PTO or sick time to be used? She might want to confer with an employment law attorney to discuss the issues although generally the law recited by Ms. Wender is correct.
