Ramhofer Garcia obtains reinstatement order from Public Employees Relations Commission

Ramhofer Garcia regularly represent government employees who are part of the Florida career service system. A career service employee who is not on probation can only be fired for cause. The Firm’s client was on probation after accepting a promotion, which made her an at-will employee for the duration of the probationary period. The Agency attempted to circumvent the for cause requirement by improperly extending her probation and then terminated her. The Firm prevailed before the Public Employee Relations Commission (PERC) on behalf of the Client and obtained an order vacating the termination of the client, reinstating her, and awarding her backpay, benefits, and interest.
