Re: wrongful termination (alcohol )
In virtually every employment setting in Florida, the answer is YES. The reason is that in Florida, an employee may be terminated for any reason, at any time, and it can be a good reason, a bad reason, or no reason at all. This doctrine is commonly known as "employment at will."
