What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Florida
I was laid off from an at will employer when I was 8 months pregnant due to the company's financial situation (a company of 200+ that laid off about 30 people in the first round). I have friends in HR in New England who have said that this is a major no-no. Is it legal to do in the state of Florida? Do I have any legal options on my side or is this a done deal? I was shell shocked and did sign a document so that I could get a weeks severance pay as I really needed the money. How does that effect the situation?
