Rejection Letter
(Job Applicant Not Hired) (FL)

Summary

This template is a rejection letter for use in the state of Florida for job applicants who the employer interviewed but decided not to hire. This template includes practical guidance and drafting notes. This template is intended for private employers. It has been customized to comply with Florida and federal law. As a result, the text of this template does not differ from the non-jurisdictional Rejection Letter (Job Applicant Not Hired) template, except that the drafting notes address issues under both Florida and federal law.
