After 29 years as controller of the company a new GM took over and changed every thing
From dress codes to work hours
I always arrived at 9 am and worked to 5 pm
Or later to get the job done two decades of 50 hour weeks etc and only in the last 4-5 yrs as I passed through 55 did I start leaving at 5 pm on a regular basis. Still started at 9 am.
Now been told with 2 weeks notice that I have to start at 8 am and stay to 5 pm
Can they do that
It is unfortunate that the employer is making unilateral changes to your schedule on such short notice. My recommendation is to dispute the change and negotiate either a raise in exchange for the extra hour of work, or a longer notice period. Please contact us if you need help corresponding with the employer or if you reach an impasse with them and need legal advice on your options.
