What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? IN
I was hired over five years ago to work 20 hours per week. I had a very clear agreement that because of family responsibilities I would work no later than 3pm, but would work 7 hours on T,Th and make up the additional 6 hours whenever I chose to the rest of the week. I have worked for over five years with this arrangement, and have always had very high marks on my reviews. I have never seen anything documented that indicated there was a problem with those hours. There are others in my office that also leave earlier than 5:00. I was told last week that effective January 15, I am expected to stay until 5:00, and my HR profile (on which salary and benefits like pto are based) will not be adjusted to reflect the additional 4 hours per week. I explained that my family circumstances have not changed and asked for alternatives. The only one I was given was to approach the person I job share with and ask her to change her M,W,F schedule so that we would both work half days, with me covering 8-12, and her doing 1-5. She is not willing to do this. It has been inferred that if I do not comply I will lose my job. What kind of rights do I have? If I am fired over this, am I eligible for unemployment? I am not able to work until 5:00, but I can stretch it until 3:30.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
