PAL-MED HEALTH SERVICES, Appellant/Cross-appellee, v. Guy JOHNSON, Appellee/Cross-appellant.
    Nos. 95-3490, 96-388.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Oct. 30, 1996.
    Rehearing Denied Dec. 11, 1996.
    Hermelee, Stieglitz & Walker, Bruce G. Hermelee, Stephen G. York, Miami, for ap-pellanVcross-appellee.
    Stephen E. Tunstall, for appellee/cross-ap-pellant.
    Before GERSTEN, GODERICH and GREEN, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

The defendant, Pal-Med Health Services [Pal-Med], appeals from an adverse final judgment, from the denial of its motion for rehearing, and from an adverse final judgment on attorney’s fees. The plaintiff, Guy Johnson, also cross-appeals from the final judgment. We affirm.

After a careful review of the record, we find that the final judgment awarding Johnson $17,442.31 for breach of an employment agreement was supported by competent, substantial evidence. In addition, we find that the trial court properly determined as a matter of law that Johnson was Pal-Med’s employee and that such determination was also supported by competent, substantial evidence. Thus, an award of attorney’s fees, pursuant to section 448.08, Florida Statutes (1995), was appropriate.

Affirmed.
