Influential Contract Disputes Attorney Resolving Issues For Tampa Employment Law Clients

All employment contracts are legally binding documents, and it is not uncommon for the terms included to be misconstrued, misunderstood or downright ignored. If you have signed a contract for hire, a noncompete or severance agreement, or another workplace-specific contract and feel it has been violated or breached, attorney Craig Berman can help you take the right course of action to rectify the situation.

At-Will Employment

Florida is an “at-will” employment state, meaning employers may terminate an employee for any or no reason at all, granted that that reason is not in violation of state or federal employment laws. Employees, too, may leave for any or no reason.

It is perfectly legal for your employer to terminate you with no warning as long as the termination is not because of your race, skin color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, age, citizenship status, genetic information, marital status, HIV/AIDS diagnosis or sickle cell trait. Additionally, your employer may not fire you for retaliatory purposes, such as for whistleblowing or reporting a violation to the human resources department.

Resolving Contract Disputes

If you are locked in a contract dispute with your employer, employee, contractor or other professional partner, and you cannot resolve the issue among yourselves, the next step is to speak with an experienced employment law attorney like Mr. Berman. He can help you identify the right channel to pursue your claim and advise you on how to proceed. He will also direct you to any relevant legal forms or documents, ensure that you fill them out properly and then file them with the appropriate agency.
