Can I sue for wrongful termination in Florida?

[lazaro94]

Hello Everyone.. Please Help. Recently I was employed for a very large corporation in florida. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to me I had a warrant for my arrest. The authorities came to my place of work and I was arrested. This was very humiliating to me. The charge was fraud, which is a felony. I was arrested, made bail, and released a couple of hours later. The next day I received a call from the Human Resourses Dept or my employer that I could not return to work. I tried to explain to them that I was innocent of this crime, however I was still let go. To make a long story short, after countless visits and going through the court system i was exonerated (found not guilty) and my question is... Do I have a lawsuit against the employer. They did not give me the opportunity to prove myself innocent. They automatically assumed that I was guilty. This is so frustrating because I was a faithful employee and I feel that they had no cause to terminate me. Now I do feel that they could have suspened my position until the issue was resolved, but they did not. Now I am out of a job where I made a fairly good wage and instead receiving unemployment compensation. Can Anyone that knows about the law explain this to me, because I am surely clueless.

uh...except that FL employment is at will, and unless you can prove an EEOC violation or a hostiel pervalanmt workplace, there is no "wrongful termination".
