Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Re: Employment Offers

In Florida, you can be rejected for a job or terminated with our without any reason, or notice, so long as it is not motivated by any of the discriminatory reasons prohibited by law, such as, for example, sex, race, age, disability, religion, etc... So, typically, unless you have been discriminated against, you wouldn't have a claim for being terminated or having a job offer withdrawn.

However, the situation is different in the case of an employment contract. I am not sure what your verbal agreement was, but, assuming that you entered into a contract (like, for example, a one-year committment) then you could have some remedies depending on what was agreed. The contract could be verbal, but, of course, verbal employment agreements are much harder to prove, and only valud for 1 year.

Additionally, even without a contract, and depending upon the nature of the relationship that you established with either company, you may have a claim for negligent misrepresentation.
