The next day he went to work to talk to his boss and to collect his paycheck and his boss suspended him for 2 weeks because he missed work. We are just wondering what the law is here for this kind of situation.

According to this chart, even though from 2000, FL does NOT even recognize a "good faith and fair dealing exception" to at will employment.

If they did, I would say it may pay to consult an attorney.

It is most probably legal, although such behavior is so egregious, as the Supreme Court says in some rulings, it "shocks the conscience".


I pity the employer who does such to me when my sainted mother dies and I want time off.
