Understanding employment law in Florida

Florida generally follows the employment-at-will doctrine, meaning employers and employees can often end an employment relationship without a specified reason.

However, federal and state laws, including the Florida Civil Rights Act, prohibit certain forms of discrimination, retaliation, and other unlawful employment practices. A complaint under the Florida Civil Rights Act generally must be filed with the Florida Commission on Human Relations, the EEOC, or a qualifying local agency within 365 days of the alleged violation.

Florida's minimum wage is set by the state constitution and rose to $15.00 an hour on September 30, 2026. Before suing over unpaid minimum wages under Florida law, an employee generally must give the employer written notice of the claim, and the employer then has 15 days to pay or resolve it.

Different claims can involve different deadlines and legal standards.

DocDraft helps you organize your information and prepare relevant documents so you can make informed decisions about what comes next.

Residential leaseExample draft

12. Security deposit. Landlord will refund the deposit, less deductions for damage beyond normal wear and tear1, within 15 days after the lease ends; if Landlord intends to make a claim on the deposit, Landlord will send Tenant written notice of the claim by certified mail, or by e-mail where the law allows, within 30 days.

1Question for an attorney

Does carpet wear from two years of normal living count as damage?

18. Default. If rent is late, Landlord may demand payment by giving Tenant written notice allowing three days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, to pay2; if Tenant does not pay in full within that time, Landlord may end the lease and file an eviction action.

2Question for an attorney

If I pay part of the rent during the three days, does the notice still count?
