Report Link Florida Federal Court Rules Employees May Leave Guns in Cars While at Work.Jackson Lewis LLP - August 06, 2008 Weeks after Florida's "Guns-at-Work" law went into effect, a federal court in Tallahassee has refused a request from employer groups to halt implementation of the part of the law allowing employees with concealed weapons permits to keep guns locked in their vehicles while at work. Florida Retail Ass'n v. Attorney Gen. of Fla., No. 4:08cv179-RH/WCS (N.D. Fla. Jul. 29, 2008). Under the law, the attorney general has authority to bring civil or administrative action against employers, and any person may bring a civil action against violators. Courts may award costs and attorney's fees to the prevailing party in actions brought under the law. The Florida Attorney General's office is reviewing claims by several companies that assert they are exempt from the law and may prohibit their employees from keeping weapons on employers' property. Report Link Federal Court Refuses to Enjoin Florida "Guns-at-Work Law" as Applied to Employees.Ogletree Deakins - August 01, 2008 A federal court in Tallahassee, Florida yesterday refused to enjoin the new Florida law that grants certain employees the right to keep guns secured in their vehicles while they are at work. The new law took effect on July 1, 2008. As a result of this ruling, Florida employers, among other things, must allow workers who have valid concealed firearms permits to bring their guns to work provided the guns are secured in their private vehicles in a parking lot. Report Link Federal Court Rules Against Employers on Florida's Guns-at-Work Law.Fisher & Phillips, LLP - July 31, 2008 A Federal judge in Florida has issued a mixed ruling on the request for an injunction against the new so-called "guns-at-work" law in Florida. Judge Robert Hinkle of the Northern District of Florida denied the request to enjoin the law as it relates to employees. Therefore, employees with concealed weapons permits will be able to bring guns onto an employer's property if locked in or to a vehicle. The Judge granted the preliminary injunction with respect to business invitees and customers, who, at least for the time being, will not be allowed to bring firearms onto business premises. Report Link Court Rules on Florida’s “Guns at Work” Law.Ford & Harrison LLP - July 31, 2008 In a decision highly anticipated by Florida employers, a federal court has refused to enjoin portions of the Florida “Guns at Work” law that apply to employer actions toward employees and applicants, but ruled that the law is only applicable to workers with a valid Florida concealed-carry permit. See Florida Retail Federation v. Attorney General (July 28, 2008). However, the court did issue a preliminary injunction prohibiting enforcement of the law as it applies to a business and its customers. Report Link Preliminary Injunction Ruling Partly Upholds Florida's Guns-at-Work Law.Baker Hostetler LLP - July 31, 2008 On Monday, July 28, 2008, a federal judge preliminarily upheld a portion of Florida's "Guns-At-Work" law which went into effect on July 1, 2008. Denying in part, and granting in part, a preliminary injunction sought by Florida business groups, Judge Robert L. Hinkle of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida decided that the portions of the law applicable to employees, as defined by the statute, are likely constitutional and may be enforced, whereas the portions of the law applicable to customers and invitees are unlikely to withstand constitutional scrutiny and may not be enforced. Report Link Workplace Violence.Jackson Lewis LLP - October 01, 2001 While it is a relatively simple matter to terminate the employee making a threat, the challenge is ensuring that the former employee does not return to the workplace to carry out the threat.
