"Section 112.31895(1)(a) provides that a complaint alleging retaliatory action by an employer must be filed no later than 60 days after the retaliatory act. Here, on the face of Curtis’ complaint, the alleged retaliatory action occurred on April 1, 2002, and the complaint was filed on July 10, 2002, more than 100 days after the alleged act.
Further, the date of Curtis’ complaint cannot be related-back to the date a similar complaint was filed by a DOT employee, Mavis Georgalis, because the administrative rule providing for this relation back doctrine, rule 60Y-5.001(4), Florida Administrative Code, is adopted pursuant to the Florida Civil Rights Act, section 760.06(12), Florida
Statutes (2002), and is applicable to proceedings under that act."
