FERGUSON, Judge.
We reverse the temporary mandatory injunction which directs defendants to pay plaintiffs $53,491.21 in back wages. The purpose of a temporary injunction is to preserve the status quo until full relief may be granted. Tamiami Trail Tours, Inc. v. Greyhound Lines, Inc., 212 So. 2d 365 (Fla. 4th DCA 1968). There is no irreparable harm for the purpose of a temporary injunction where the harm can be adequately compensated for by a monetary award. Goldberger v. Regency Highland Condominium Association, Inc., 383 So. 2d 1173 (Fla. 4th DCA 1980); Oxford International Bank and Trust, Ltd. v. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., 374 So. 2d 54 (Fla. 3d DCA 1979). A temporary injunction does not decide the merits of a case unless (1) the hearing is specially set for that purpose, and (2) the parties have had a full opportunity to present their cases. University of Texas v. Camenisch, 451 U.S. 390, 101 S.Ct. 1830, 68 L.Ed.2d 175 (1981); Ladner v. Plaza Del Prado Condominium Association, Inc., 423 So. 2d 927 (Fla. 3d DCA 1982).

Jacksonville Elec. Auth. v. Beemik Builders & Constructors, Inc., 487 So. 2d 372 (Fla. 1st DCA 1986)…ng capability following a contract’s revocation is not irreparable injury and cannot justify the issuance of a temporary injunction. Irreparable injury will not be found if money damages are available as a remedy. City of Miami Springs v. Steffen, 423 So. 2d 930 (Fla.3d DCA 1982). In a contract action, injunctive relief is seldom the appropriate remedy, as money damages are ordinarily available. Gonzalez v.
