Question

1. You are the food and beverage manager of a hotel in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. One of your banquet employees, Joan, has already received multiple written warnings for poor attendance (i.e., tardiness, no-call/no-show). Last Saturday, Joan was scheduled to work a very important wedding but she did not show up. You speak to the general manager and decide to fire Joan but, before you can fire her, Joan calls you to complain that her supervisor has been sexually harassing her and that she does not feel comfortable working in the banquets department. Can you still fire her?

2. You are the owner of a small motel in Miami, Florida. Jill, one of your housekeepers, is injured in a car accident and is no longer able to walk. The ability to walk is essential to her position as a housekeeper and you have no other open positions available for her. Can you fire Jill?

3. You are the owner of a restaurant in Miami, Florida with less than 50 employees (all of which are over 18 years of age). You decide that you want to work your employees to the bone so you can make as much money as possible. Therefore, you do not offer any breaks, paid time off, sick days or vacation/holiday benefits. Is this legal?

4. You are the owner of a bar in Miami, Florida. One of your bartenders, Mike, is an at will employee. You want to fire Mike because you don't like the way he looks at you. Is this legal?

5. Same question as #4 except that you want to fire Mike because you suspect that Mike (who is 22 years old) may have been responsible for the assassination Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914, which was widely considered to be the most immediate cause of World War I. Is this legal?
