Re: Question for school
Workers Compensation is governed by state law. Florida discrimination law, Chapter 760 in the statutes, is similar to federal discrimination law but offers slightly broader protections.

The best statutory example of a protection that Florida State law provides--that the Federal law does not provide by statute--is a prohibition on employers discriminating against an employee based upon their "marital status."
