Hi my sister-in-law (employed in FL) just told me her work gave her 15 minutes to sign away her right for unemployment if the fire her. I looked it up and got this:

(1) WAIVER OF RIGHTS VOID.--Any agreement by an individual to waive, release, or commute her or his rights to benefits or any other rights under this chapter is void. Any agreement by an individual in the employ of any person or concern to pay all or any portion of any employer's contributions, reimbursements, interest, penalties, fines, or fees required under this chapter from the employer, is void. An employer may not directly or indirectly make or require or accept any deduction from wages to finance the employer's contributions, reimbursements, interest, penalties, fines, or fees required from her or him, or require or accept any waiver of any right under this chapter by any individual in her or his employ. An employer, or an officer or agent of an employer, who violates this subsection commits a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.

My question is who does she tell, that her employer tried to make her give away her rights. Thanx.

No one.

As you already know, such a statement would have been non-enforceable. So no one was harmed by it and it's unlikely any agency would take any action.

NO, the statute says it's a second degree misdemeanor. If some one has information about what agency to contact please respond. Thank you.

I didn't say it wasn't a misdemeanor; I said that since no one was harmed by it, it was unlikely that any action would be taken.
