Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Stacking

Is an employer (Federal) permitted to stack several first offence, unrelated allegations against an individual to obtain a greater sanction? (I.e. computer misuse one day + credit card misuse another day + misconduct another day = discharge of employee)

Note: First offence on any one charge does not rise to discharge

What can be referenced?

Florida is an at-will employment state, meaning that an employer can discipline (and fire) for any reason at any time. As such, there is no regulation of the issue you have written about. Thus, the employer is free to do as they see fit.
