I work in the call center industry and half been with my company for 4.5 years. We are a small group in the portfolio that I work in, and for the last few months we have been extremely shorthanded in our ability to get work done. I am concerned that there may be a possibility that the client will end the relationship. In that case, I may be moved to a different portfolio or if there is no position than let go. I know in the past that this employer will move people to other portfolios and after 1 year reduce there wages if it is not a job at the same expertise level. Also, they could change my hours of 10 to 6pm and affect my part time evening job I do 3 nights a week. This I take it would be a constructive termination I believe. Also, in my industry, as an hourly worker, I would think that I would still be owed severance, but I am unsure on how it works in this industry. Your assistance is appreciated.

That certainly sounds like a constructive termination, and I am happy to advise you that neither industry nor the fact that you are paid hourly disentitles you to severance. I would highly recommend that you contact an employment lawyer at the number below to ensure that you protect your interests in the event that any changes are made.
