A hostile or toxic workplace occurs when a person has had to endure discrimination or sexual harassment so long and so often that it begins to affect his or her ability to function in the workplace. If you have suffered any type of discrimination or sexual harassment for this long, you are operating in a toxic work environment. It is important to take action if you feel like you are being treated unfairly or if the workplace has become a hostile environment.

The law forbids discrimination when it comes to any aspect of employment, including hiring, firing, pay, job assignments, promotions, layoff, training, fringe benefits, and any other term or condition of employment . Additionally, any form of harassment based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information is prohibited.

An employer must pay you for all hours worked. Under The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), employees are entitled to receive overtime pay for any hours they work in excess of 40 hours in a work week. Just because your employer pays you a salary, and claims you are exempt, it does not mean you are. Employers constantly misclassify employees. If your job feels like an assembly line, where you have no discretion in how the job is done, then you may be misclassified. If your employer claims that you are a manager, but you spend most of your time doing the same job as those that you supervise, then you may be misclassified.
-
In some instances, sex discrimination may occur at the same time as sexual harassment. It could also lead to sexual harassment on occasion. As such, there is often a thin line between the two. Sexual harassment can consist of offensive touching or unsolicited sexual advances. If you are suffering what you feel may be sexual harassment in the workplace, it may also involve some elements of sex discrimination. If you suffer sex discrimination in a hostile workplace environment, or if you suspect you were denied employment, terminated, or were harassed at your current job, on the basis of your sex, take action and contact Roberson & Roberson P.A for a free consultation

The Florida statute protects whistle-blowers by prohibiting an employer from retaliating against a whistle-blower. If you suspect you were denied employment, terminated, or were harassed at your current job, on the basis of your objecting to or complaining about, your employer’s illegal activity, take action today and contact Roberson & Roberson P.A. for a free consultation.

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a United States federal law which provides up to 12 weeks of job-protected, unpaid leave. It is unlawful for any employer to interfere with, restrain, or deny the exercise of or the attempt to exercise any right provided by the FMLA. It is also unlawful for an employer to discharge or discriminate against any individual for opposing any practice, or because of involvement in any proceeding, related to the FMLA. If your employer has refused to let you take FMLA, or you were harassed at your current job, or you suspect that you were terminated, on the basis of you taking or requesting FMLA leave, take action today and contact Roberson & Roberson P.A. for a free consultation
