[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And my duties have changed too.

Basically I’m a housekeeper, errand runner and chauffeur. That’s not the job I signed up for.  I signed up to be their infants nanny and pick up the 4-year-old from preschool.  Minimal household duties.  Now I’m no longer responsible for baby but fill my time doing dishes, laundry and grocery shopping before picking up 4-year-old.

I told my employer I didn’t agree to this and cited my contract and he was like, “yeah that’s based on our needs at the time, our needs have changed”.

He is within his rights to do that, or even eliminate the job. He's being an asshole about it, though. The right way was to sit you down, tell you your job was ending, give you two weeks notice, and then offer you the first right of refusal for the new job. You'd have been equally SOL and upset, but that would have been the professional way to go about it.[/quote]

Right, I understand things changed but I am owed a two weeks notice.  Also he didn’t ask, he TOLD me my new hours and my new responsibilities.  That’s not how it works.[/quote]

But the thing is, there's no law that says he can't do this. You can also walk out today. Unfortunately, that would hurt you a lot more than it would hurt him.

This is the way things work when people are not particularly nice, or don't have great morals. You could threaten to take him to court. You might even win the guaranteed pay for the days up until he told you they were voiding the contract.

You are probably eligible for unemployment even if you quit, because they changed the hours and duties so drastically.[/quote]
