Florida’s unemployment compensation statute provides a safety net for workers who lose their jobs. Not all unemployed workers will qualify for benefits under Florida’s statute, however. If an employee is terminated for misconduct connected with work or voluntarily quits work, the worker will be disqualified from receiving unemployment compensation benefits. In this column, we will address voluntary terminations.

In their weekly Boca Raton News column, Hodgson Russ partners Larry Corman and Glenn Rissman address voluntary terminations.
