Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Notice of Resignation

I recently gave my employer 2 weeks notice that they accepted. 3 days later they let me go instead of working the full 2 weeks. Are they required to pay me for the full amount of time?

Do they have to pay me for unused vacation time?

and most important, we are paid commisions. The commisions are paid the following month for the previous month. Are they still required to pay me for the sales I obtained in April when the commsions are not paid until May 15th. We are paid a commision of every sale we make.

Re: Notice of Resignation

Florida is an employment at-will state and no "notice" or "severance" pay requirement exists. However, whether you can recover unpaid commissions depends on a number of factors including any written policy your employer has as well as past practices. You should consult with an attorney to determine whether you have potential causes of action to recover your unpaid wages.
