Your employer is probably allowed to fire your for excessive absences. What have you been absent for? What kind of harassment have you been suffering from? These types of questions have to be answered before someone could tell you whether you have a legal cuase of action or not. In Florida, an employer has the right to fire you at will, so long as the termination is not in violation of federal or state statutes such as sexual harassment, race discrimination, pregnancy discrimination, etc. For more information check out my employee rights blog www.takethisjobnshoveitblog.com or my website www.behrenlaw.com.
