Hartley v. Ocean Reef Club Inc.

476 So.2d 1327

Third DCA noted in footnote 1 that Section 440.205 F.S. (1983) allows for a civil cause of action for a wrongful discharge in retaliation for an employee's pursuit of a workers' compensation claim even for an employee working "at the will" of the employer. Workers' compensation cases are contrary to "at will" employee and retaliatory firings for other purposes.
