Discrimination
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 makes it unlawful for an employer with 15 or more employees to discriminate against any person with respect to his or her compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of the individual’s race, color, sex, age, national origin, religion, disability, Family and Medical Leave Act, pregnancy, and sexual orientation.
Florida has a similar law, the Florida Civil Rights Act, which forbids an employer from refusing to hire or firing an employee because of the employee's age, race, religion, gender, national origin, handicap or marital status.
Title VII and the Florida Civil Rights Act also make it against the law for an employer to fire an employee in retaliation for the employee having complained in good faith about discrimination or harassment.
