The company has been sending me to work at another location 4 hours away for the past 8 months. Until today, I was able to drive on company time on scheduled work days and working from home has been allowed.
Early this morning, I was informed of 4 changes that take effect immediately: driving to the work location on company time is no longer possible; working from home on Christmas Eve Day and Christmas Day is now not possible; my schedule has been changed so I will work 6 days rather than 5, and then have 3 scheduled days off; and, I am being transferred to a site 10 hours away immediately after the 3 scheduled days off.
The company will rent a furnished apartment and I will be there indefinitely. Despite having made plans for my days off, I will drive home on the first day off, pack my belongings and my cats, and on my third day off drive 10 hours to the new location and hope the apartment that is being provided is clean, safe and allows cats. Returning to my home for days off won’t be possible in the winter months and there is no indication how long this will last. My home will be vacant for an indefinite time.
Getting this news in the early morning of Christmas Eve Day, with no time to plan or prepare, is not consistent with the treatment of other employees in the same job class.
Do I have any legislated protections or is this an acceptable standard of practice?
Appreciatively, Kim
