Is it legal for a boss to give one an ultimatum if employee decides to not accept a promotion?

I don't know if it's legal, but it may not be *illegal.* It seems like a good way to foster a hostile work environment, but I doubt many employees are going to file harassment charges after the boss offers a promotion.\n\nStill, just because something is legal (or not yet illegal) doesn't necessarily make it OK to do.

That is a no win situation.   No matter what you do, you are not going to come out ahead.   A bully doesn't listen to reasoning.  Assertiveness doesn't work on a bully boss.   I would advise you to quit that job and go somewhere where you may be respected.

If your employer is on the stand, yes.  But I would ask a lawyer to make sure.

If you have a contract, check that.\nIf not, it depends on the state you live in, if it in an "employment at will" state, then you can quit and/or be fired anytime for any or no reason. If its not, then no, they are not allowed to do that.

They can send it to your employer and request that they do it, but it's up to the employer to either do it or not.

Legally?  Unless you're under contract....and you are probably not.....you are not under any legal obligation to give any notice at all.  Most places request that you give them 2 weeks notice....and if you want a reference from them that's probably a good idea.  But you are certainly under no obligation to give them any notice.  Do places give at will employees any notice before firings?  No

Simply say "I regret to inform you, but I must resign from my current position. My last day will be_____. I will gladly help with the pursuit and training of a replacement until that time. I appreciate the experience this firm has given me." It's usually best if you don't put a reason in writing, as it's your right to quit without cause....and anything you say will only annoy your boss, or get you in some kind of legal trouble. If asked, say you got a better offer, or say you were looking for something that provides more of a challenge. You may find your boss will give you a raise to keep you.

Try to do what you are told and have as little contact as possible. Depends on politics also. My guess is they paying him or her next to nothing and if does not work out, next, and the next will be the same hungry bend over backwards useless manager. This is a typical cheap corporate way of not paying for good help. I would also look at the bosses boss or the company for that matter. This may not be the company you want to work at.

It depends on what State your in.   The laws vary from State to State.  In most cases, if there is misrepresentation on the employer's part you should be OK.   Signed Contracts are legal and binding.   Why would someone want to force a person to work who does not want to?

Actually, there is no such law. Your job is whatever your employer tells you it is...as long as the changes are reasonable. Now, if your employer suddenly told you that your job how included digging up the concrete driveway and you refuse, then you would have a case because it's not customary to the job.\n\nUS labor law considers this sort of situation an internal compensation matter between the employee and employer, and there is nothing that gives you any specific protection in this case. The only thing that could be done is to file a grievance with a union, but I'm guessing you aren't in a union.

I think the situation would be the same in your arena as in mine (hospitality industry - small town - avg monthly pay about $800.00).  First, need to find if these changes are being done exclusively by your boss or manager or whether it's being dictated by higher up.  If it's your boss or manager, request a meeting, have a presentation ready to back up your views, and have alternatives available for discussion.  If it's higher ups, request a meeting with your boss and discuss if he's feeling a decline in productivity and discuss your views to see their reaction, then find out if there is any way of making a presentation for the higher ups to discuss alternatives.\n\nIn our situation, employee moral is flagging, we've had staff quit, then restart to force fifty cent an hour raises they had been promised, slackness in attention to detail, even one instance where I had been asked to work a shift and the person originally scheduled also in, and when they checked with the office, found the manager unavailable, but his name had been scratched from the schedule - no forewarning of dismissal.\n\nEven though the manager is taking their cue directly from owner, after I made presentation, it took 3 weeks to get a response, and where she originally indicated she would consider anything to help resolve the situation, it was pretty much that she didn't pass it on, and that I should spend more time concentrating on work and less on improving conditions.  Just be prepared that your suggestions might not be taken in the spirit being offered.

that will probably get you fired, you're taking potential work away from your boss and the crews that work for him, not a good move

If he accepts the deal his claim for unfair dismissal as also for the Restraint clause will be forfeited. take good advice before accepting such offer.

No, because where I live you can be fired for ANY reason or NO REASON AT ALL. Consider that I've also seen racially motivated firings where the people who lost their jobs had no rights or protection at all. Also in my state the labor board will only enforce minimum wage without a contract. I've seen people put in a two week notice at a job only to have their last paycheck dropped to minimum wage out of revenge for them leaving. These laws favor corporations, not workers rights at all. I see nothing fair about that. To change these laws in our favor I'd be willing to see a law mandating giving at least a weeks notice before quitting a job. And the employer has to accept it, not tell you just to hit the door because you put in a notice.

If you had a written contract, you can read it to see if there was a stipulation on a bonus even if you quit.  I know if my employees quit they forfeit the bonus'.

Unless you have something in writing stating that your hours won't change, it's perfectly legal.  If it was something drastic (like going from working days to being forced to work nights) you might have a little more pull to state that the job parameters changed considerably and became undoable.  But for goodness sake man - it's an hour.

It is possible just depends upon how much "heart" the company has towards their employees.\n\nDifferent situations are seen with different eyes.  Some would see it as you being very uncooperative, and would refuse your request no matter what.\n\nOthers if you can make an argument compelling enough would weigh the costs of your situation against the companies needs and possibly consider not moving you as an option.\n\nSo...make a good argument, and hopefully you work for a good boss that has some compassion for his employees and would go to bat for you higher up the ladder.\n\nGood luck,  Dave.
