More details to this question:
I have worked 8am -5pm for 15 yrs with this employer. I then became medically restricted and was on light duty this year, so they sent me home on a leave and now found a suitable position for me. Without giving me details they sent me a letter stating i have to report to this position or else im terminated without allowance. Meanwhile this paycut position is all rotating shiftwork overnight hours! My question is how is this a suitable position with overnight hours and can i refuse it without getting fired ? Does this not sound right ?

the key is the medical restrictions and light duty. this gives your employer the 'opening' to change your job. the employer can have you work this 'new job' with the 'new job requirements'. ed dimon, esq. 732-797-1600
