I was transferred from Canada to the US last summer. A contract was formed between me and my employer which outlined I must gain residency in the US, and my job position and title was defined. There was also a clause in the contract that under under the Ontario laws of dismissal, I would be eligible for two years of pay, plus benefits. This contract was signed by both parties and I moved my family.

The company is now asking me to work in Canada. They are being vague on details and I'm concerned me and my family will suffer. Since they are changing work location, title and responsibilities, do I have grounds to hold them to the original agreement and ask for dismissal?

The answer to your question depends in great part on the language in your contract, if you signed one, and what the company represented to you at the time of the transfer to the US. I encourage you to call us at the number below to speak with one of our lawyers, who will go over your options and help you make an informed decision regarding next steps.
