You used the term "deputy director" which leads me to believe you may work for a government. If so, this answer COULD BE different. Generally, any private employer may ask you for anything, and you may be discharged for failing to do so. If so, you likely would have no remedy against the employer. Georgia recognizes the doctrine of employment at will. Employment at will means that in the absence of a written contract of employment for a defined duration, an employer can terminate an employee for good cause, bad cause, a mistaken cause, or no cause at all, so long as it is not an illegal cause.
