What is the name of your state?Hello. I am a salaried technology professional living and working in California.
My employer is wanting me to take an extended business trip to India. I have not explicitly been ordered to go yet (just being pressured to volunteer), but I am certain that the order is coming. For a number of personal reasons, I very much do NOT want to make this trip. There is no mention of travel whatsoever on my job offer letter, and in fact, that was one of the big selling points for me accepting this position.
Can my employer legally force me to take the trip? I'm sure my name will be mud regardless for not volunteering to go, but I'd like to know what my rights are as an employee.
Thank you very much for any advice!
