Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Florida is a right-to-work state. This means that the majority of the employees have "at-will" employment. Hence, a lay off or separation/termination can occur for many reasons as long as it is not an illegal reason such as discrimination, retaliation, etc.

An employee who does not like the terms of employment which includes performing overtime work is not protected and can be laid off if the employee no longer wants to comply with the terms of employment offered by the employer.
