Legal Question in Employment Law in New Mexico
Civil law suit
How difficult is it to file a civil suit against an employer who knowingly and without conscience hires a person to do a job in another area, for instance in new mexico when the employee lives in florida, and when the employee arrives on the job they find that the job offered is not the actual job at all, or the actual pay is less than half offered and if they dont like it they can go back at their own expense.

Re: Civil law suit
Under Florida law, you probably would not have a viable cause of action because the law is "employment at will." However, you should consult an attorney in NM to determine if you may have rights there that exceed the lack of protection in FL.
