?? And the answer is... ?? ?? ?? FALSE! While reporting workplace discrimination quickly can strengthen your case, you still have time. In most cases, you have 180–300 days to file a claim with the EEOC. If you’ve experienced discrimination but hesitated to report it, don’t assume your case is dead. Consulting an attorney can clarify your timeline and help you take the right steps to protect your rights.

Fear of retaliation shouldn’t stop you from doing what’s right. Florida law protects whistleblowers from being fired, demoted, or harassed for reporting illegal workplace activity. Whether it’s unsafe conditions, wage theft, or discrimination, you have the right to report violations without fear. If your employer has retaliated against you, it’s time to take action.

Can a state ban discussions on race in the workplace? ???? Florida’s ‘Stop WOKE Act’ aimed to do just that, but a federal judge ruled the law unconstitutional. Employers argued it forced them to self-censor diversity initiatives, ultimately harming employees. This decision protects workplace dialogue, but it also highlights ongoing legal battles over what businesses can and can’t discuss.

Just because you work from home doesn’t mean workplace laws disappear. Pay, hours, privacy, and expenses still matter. Companies must ensure compliance, and workers should understand their rights. A flexible office shouldn’t mean flexible protections, let’s make sure remote work is fair for all. ??

Workplace issues shouldn’t be ignored. Whether it’s unfair treatment, contract disputes, or concerns with workplace rights, getting legal guidance can make all the difference. Don’t navigate it alone, let’s chat and find solutions that work for you!

??Maternity leave shouldn’t be a luxury, but in Florida, it often is. With no state-mandated protections, new parents rely on FMLA (if eligible) or employer benefits. Due to this, many families struggle with unpaid leave or job insecurity. Studies show that workplaces that support parents create more stable work environments. Let's work together to provide healthier, happier work spaces and nurture a good work/life balance for all. ????

?? Job descriptions set the foundation for fair employment. Misrepresentation or vague expectations can lead to wage disputes, misclassification, or even wrongful termination claims. Precision matters, protect yourself by ensuring job details are clear and accurate. Unsure where you stand? Let's talk. ??

Protecting Federal Workers’ Rights When a dedicated 18-year Army veteran and former Department of Veterans Affairs employee is abruptly terminated despite stellar performance reviews, it raises serious concerns. Unfortunately, federal workers on probationary status have fewer protections, making them more vulnerable to sudden layoffs. But that doesn’t mean they are without options. If you’ve been unexpectedly let go, don’t navigate this alone. At Scott Law, we help federal employees understand their rights, explore possible appeals, and fight for the justice they deserve. ??

Retaliation isn’t just unethical—it’s illegal and expensive. Lawsuits, financial penalties, and reputational harm follow when employees face backlash for speaking up. A workplace built on fairness and compliance reduces risk and fosters trust. Protecting whistleblowers strengthens company culture and upholds legal standards. The right response to a report of misconduct is action, not retaliation. #WorkplaceFairness #KnowYourRights

Laid Off Without Warning? Know Your Rights. Imagine dedicating 18 years to serving your country, only to be let go from your civilian role without warning—despite outstanding performance. That’s what happened to David Pasquino, a 100% disabled combat veteran, when he received an unexpected Termination During Probation Notice from the VA. Sadly, he’s not alone.
