Wrongful termination or discharge is a general term that applies to any type of lawsuit that can result from an employer’s decision to terminate an employee. Wrongful termination complaints can range from everything to breach of contract to discrimination. In Florida, there are many possible types of wrongful termination claims depending on the legal cause of action involved. Our firm handles all types of wrongful termination claim that can be brought against an employer.
Discrimination involves treating someone less favorably because of their possession of an attribute (e.g., sex, age, race, religion, family status, national origin, military status, disability). Our firm is often retained to advise employees of the appropriate steps that should be taken prior to the filing of a charge of discrimination with the appropriate agency. We are also retained to represent employees before the EEOC or FCHR and to initiate litigation in state or federal court.
We are a law firm that handles only labor and employment matters on behalf of the employee. We handle claims such as discrimination on the basis of sex, age, race, religion, national origin, pregnancy, and disabilitiy, sexual harassment and other forms of illegal harassment, whistleblower cases, overtime claims, retaliation claims, breach of contract claims, severance pay issues, federal and state employee claims and all other labor and employment related matters.
The sexual harassment lawyers at Thomas & Klink are experienced in handling sexual harassment and other harassment cases and can provide representation, answer any questions and otherwise provide guidance in this very complex area of the law. Please contact us if you have questions or if you are in need of legal representation.
