I work for a petroleum pipeline.Question is about not following the job
Question Details: In January 2008. I was awarded a new position at my company. At that time I was given a acceptance letter for the position which stated salary , work schedule ,and that a truck would be assigned to me for work and limited personal use. This past week our dept was notified that trucks would be pooled and we would have to drive to station in our on vehicles. Since I was led to believe this was a perk of the job and took this into consideration when negotioting my salary, am I entitled to compensation to make up for not having use of truck as I was told in job interview?
Employment and Labor Law Answers
Maybe. You need to take that letter to an employment and labor attorney in your area, and discuss all the facts, to get a reliable opinion about your rights here. One place you can find a qualified lawyer is our website, http://attorneypages.com
The letter just might qualify as a contract of employment. However, if there is nothing in the letter or in any employee handbook that sets up a process for termination, you might still be an employee "at will", which could mean that if you complain about this, you could be fired for "no reason" and not be able to do anything. Don't do or say anthing until you've talked to that lawyer!
