There’s a dark side to doing business in the Sunshine State.
 It’s not easy being an employer in the Sunshine State. In Florida, if you make even one small employment law mistake, you and your organization could be making the evening news and every
newspaper for miles around.
The Sunshine State draws retirees from all over the country, but they all aren’t golfing and fishing. Many are working, and if you don’t know the laws governing discrimination, severance agreements and accommodating disabled workers, you may end up in court before a jury of sympathetic retirees. Guess who will win that one?
Florida state law requires employers to have a smoking policy and enforce it. If you permit workplace smoking, do you have a designated smoking room and does it meet state law requirements? Get up to date on the Florida Clean Indoor Act or your profits may go up in smoke.
Are you meeting your “border guard” duties? Uncle Sam expects you to hire only workers who are legally allowed to work in the U.S. But if you don’t know the rules, you could face the feds’ wrath.
Unlike federal lawsuits, the sky’s the limit on state-court damages. Plus, even if you win a lawsuit, legal fees could still run you $10,000 or more.
Protect yourself for less than 50¢ a day: Subscribe to HR Specialist: Florida Employment Law now to protect your business – and your home and personal bank account – from Florida’s ferocious attorneys and famously pro-employee juries.
Stop worrying that even small problems with HR practices, policies or pay could blow your business apart: Florida Employment Law gives Florida employers the confidence to hire, fire, discipline, review, promote, supervise and classify employees – without giving aggressive lawyers the chance to launch million-dollar lawsuits over discrimination, harassment, wage law, negligence or personal liability.
The service includes a monthly print newsletter … HR Legal Alerts (e-mailed any time action is required to protect against new Florida employment law threats) … plus access to practical employment law advice available exclusively on the HR Specialist web site.
