I am on modified hours due to health issues, my employer made the decision to move me to another department (which I've never done) stating they are doing it to help me since it is less demanding. I feel I have been set up for failure. Can my employer fire me while on medical modified hours?

They can let you go at any time as long as they provide proper compensation and as long as their decision to terminate you is not influenced by your medical condition or your need for accommodation. You may not be obligated to accept the new role but I need more information from you in order to make that determination. I encourage you to call me at the number below to set up a consultation.
