Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

I was an independent contractor running a moving company in FL. My contract was terminated 9/10/09. When told that my contract was terminated I was asked to leave and did. I was told that if I attempted to return to the property that law enforcement would be called. I have personal files, business files (both hard copies as well as computer files), tax records, personal belongings and equipment still in the facility. I need to know what my rights are regarding the retrieval of these things.

Your employer must make your personal property available to you to pick-up. They can box-up your stuff and leave it with the security guard or at a prescribed location at the facility. They may send the property to you, but they are not required to. If the employer does not make your property available to you, you will have to sue them.
