Florida has no state income tax.

Florida preempts most local employment ordinances — cities cannot require paid sick leave.
No state-mandated paid family leave or sick leave.

US employment law is primarily federal (FLSA, FMLA, NLRA, Title VII). States add their own rules on top. This page highlights the state-specific additions that matter most for an HR system.
