FL H0895

Labor pools satisfy facility requirements for restroom facilities and drinking water if they comply with Florida Building Code standards for public restrooms and drinking fountains and any local amendments.

Labor pools may provide drinking water through water cooler dispensers, bottled water, or similar alternative means.

Workers must provide labor pools with written notice of alleged violations under section 448.24 before filing a civil action, giving the labor pool 60 days to cure the violation.

Civil actions must be filed within 1 year after the date the aggrieved worker serves written notice of the alleged violation on the labor pool.

Workers can recover actual and consequential damages, or $1,000 whichever is greater, for each violation, plus costs, and may pursue other remedies at law or equity.
