Offering more than they have to would certainly be surprising. Generally, a party that has rights under the law can voluntarily waive those rights. That is a general guideline I am giving you, not a legal opinion for your particular situation, as I could not be certain of the answer to your... Read more »

Because Florida is an “at-will” state. Private employers are free to solicit, hire, promote, increase their pay, demote, lower their pay, suspend, terminate, rehire, reinstate benefits and treat employees... Read more »
