Important Information regarding the Florida Unemployment Compensation Statutes
We begin our representation by acknowledging the simple fact, that “Misconduct” as defined
by the Florida Statutes is a very narrow definition. This includes the following two meanings:
Conduct demonstrating willful or wanton disregard of an employer’s interests and found to be
a deliberate violation or disregard of the standards of behavior which the employer has a
right to expect of his or her employee; or
Carelessness or negligence to a degree or recurrence that manifests culpability, wrongful
intent, or evil design or shows an intentional and substantial disregard of the employer’s
interests or of the employee’s duties and obligations to his or her employer.
From this simple definition, there is a host of case law we argue to buttress the proposition
that almost anyone should receive unemployment benefits – even if the employee quits their
job. Moreover, even the preamble to the unemployment compensation statute makes it clear
that Chapter 443 (that governing unemployment benefits) “shall be liberally construed in
favor of a claimant of unemployment benefits who is unemployed through no fault of his or
her own.”
