...This case presents the issue of whether the two-year statute of limitations contained in section
95.11(4)(c), Florida Statutes (1983), or the four-year statute of limitations contained in section
95.11(3)(f), Florida Statutes (1983), governs claims brought under section
760.10, Florida Statutes (1983). We hold that the four-year statute of limitations governs. Pursuant to section
760.10, petitioner Hullinger filed a complaint with the Florida Commission on Human Relations alleging that his employment with Ryder Truck Rental, Inc., was wrongfully terminated because of his age....
...Reasoning that the legislature had created a limited statutory cause of action for retaliatory discharge which was not recognized at common law, we held that the claim was controlled by section
95.11(3)(f). Hullinger claims that he was wrongfully discharged in violation of section
760.10, which makes it unlawful for an employer to discharge an employee because of his age....
...The fact that his damages may include or even be limited to recovery for such quantifiable injuries as the wages he lost had he not been discharged does not mean that his claim is one "to recover wages." Because the basis for Hullinger's cause of action is section
760.10, the applicable statute of limitations is section
95.11(3)(f) pertaining to "an action founded on a statutory liability." We quash the decision below and remand for further proceedings. It is so ordered. EHRLICH, C.J., and OVERTON, McDONALD, SHAW, BARKETT and KOGAN, JJ., concur. NOTES [1] Section
