Ask your question and an employment lawyer in Ontario, BC or Alberta will answer in minutes
Currently I am working fulltime (37.5 hours per week). I have been employed at the here since September 26, 2021. Yesterday I had a meeting with my Manager where I was given two options to continue my employment with the organization. Option 1: Accept a different role as with current responsibilities included and Option 2: Continue in my same role but move to an hourly employee. Currently I work from home and the two Options would require me to work out of the facility location. Option 1 also includes a revision of responsibilities; and a different pay structure was mentioned.
My question is if I say no to accepting either change should I resign now or if they come back with something else can I still consider it and continue working or would that jeopardize any possible constructive dismissal payout.
The organization is asking for my answer by the end of the week which I did say was probably doable during the meeting – I said I would need to talk it over with my wife.
