Hi there,
I work full time in a restaurant, and have worked there for the past 2 years. I have worked every weekend for basically 2 years straight and now I have recently found a new part time job. This new job consists of working fridays through Sunday, and when I gave my availability change to my GM he told me that I “have” to work either a Friday night or a Saturday night for him at my current full time job. It was phrased that if I can’t work weekends then I would need to “consider what it is I’m going to do” as in, get fired or quit. Is all of this legal? Do I “have” to do anything for him?
Thank you for your question. If you have always worked weekends then that has likely become a term of your employment and the employer can likely continue to require you to do so. Ultimately, though, it will depend on the circumstances.
