Florida's laws specifically govern the way in which employers implement health plans and retirement pension payments. Recipients of such benefit plans can file claims using these laws. In addition, the employer in Gainesville is obligated to make sure the employee receives any benefits that were guaranteed in a contract when the employee started their work.

The employer often pays for some of the benefit plans, but other plans require further voluntary contributions from the employee. Moreover, employees are sometimes required to work for a minimum amount of time before becoming eligible for certain benefits. Those employers who provide medical plans for employees owe particular legal duties under Florida law to those they cover. They must disclose important information about the health plans, and employees are entitled to a fair process in the treatment of their claims under the plan.
