I have been a full-time employee for 13 yrs with a large retail distributor. I have been working the 8-4 shift, Monday thru Friday for past 6yrs. My superiors have never had a problem with my scheduling.
Recently i was approcahed by my general manager about changing my work days(weekend shifts). The reason for my weekday work schedule is because I am a mother of 3 and need to tend to my homelife.
I was told by my manager that if I did not comply to the new change in my days that i could face losing my benefits, even though i am still full-time with the company. After hesitation on my part to change to the new schedule, I was given this ultimatum, - "you can keep your 8-4 Mon-Fri, but you will lose your benifits"
(my benefits include: medical for family, 3wks pto, 401k, stock options, etc...)
I never recall signing a contract requiring me to work specific days, and could not find such a policy on the copmpanies website. Am I just being threatend, or can my benefits be taken away in such a manner, even though i am still full-time?
the companies moto -" quality of life comes first"
I feel they will be affecting my quality of life by forcing me to work days i never agreed to.
please help- thank you
