Notas del episodio
From BT Law Group, PLLC - How Do You Report an Employer for Unfair Treatment in Florida? explains the legal pathways available to workers who experience discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or wage violations in the workplace. Miami employment attorneys Jason D. Berkowitz and Anisley Tarragona discuss how employees can take action through agencies such as the Florida Commission on Human Relations (FCHR), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), while also exploring local protections offered by the Miami-Dade Commission on Human Rights (CHR).
This episode explains what legally qualifies as unfair treatment under laws such as the Florida Civil Rights Act (FCRA), Florida Statutes § 760.10, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). Listeners will learn how discrimination based on protected characteristics—including race, sex, age, disability, religion, national origin, pregnancy, and marital status—can lead to valid workplace claims under both Florida law and federal statutes.
The conversation also walks through the complaint process with agencies like the FCHR, EEOC, and the Miami-Dade Commission on Human Rights, including filing deadlines, investigation procedures, mediation opportunities, and what happens when a case results in a Notice of Right to Sue. Wage violations are also addressed, with insights into how the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) of the U.S. Department of Labor enforces the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to recover unpaid minimum wages and overtime.
Finally, the episode highlights practical steps employees can take before filing a complaint, including documenting workplace incidents, preserving evidence, and understanding protections under laws like the Florida Private Sector Whistleblower Act and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA). Drawing on experience litigating employment disputes across Miami-Dade County, Broward County, and Palm Beach County, Jason D. Berkowitz and Anisley Tarragona share guidance on navigating complex workplace disputes and protecting your rights under both Florida and federal employment law.
