Your rights in the event of job changes


Questioner

I have been working for a company for 10 years. The last 2 years in a different department than the first 8. After 2 years in the department, my manager indicates that I am not the person the department needs now. I was hired as a project leader (also stated in my contract) and now he wants me to perform nursing tasks. I have not been BIG registered for a long time and I absolutely do NOT feel qualified to perform those actions. And I am also not qualified for a number of actions without the BIG. Besides, I don't want to be involved in the execution at all if I'm a project manager. What are human rights? Am I required to undergo further training for the 'new' position? Can I refuse and keep my job? Tomorrow I have a meeting with my manager and HR to discuss 'the problem'. Do you have any tips for me?

Lawyer

Unfortunately, it is up to your employer whether or not to offer you a contract. Usually, the employee is required to comply with a reasonable request from the employer. This is not the case with a contract offer. I advise to send reasons to your employer. I have experience with that.

I have had a permanent job as a project manager for 9 years. Now the employer wants me to do other work for which I am not competent or authorized. How should I answer that? What are my rights?

Lawyer

You can always refuse an offered contract. For skills for other jobs, the costs are usually borne by the employer. If a job profile applies, you must hold the employer to it.

The employer does not adhere to my current job profile. Within the same contract he wants to change my tasks. They are not in my profile. Is that allowed? Thank you very much for your feedback!

Lawyer

In principle, the employer may not change the duties according to the job manual without offering a new contract. There is a chance that your employer will not offer you an agreement. I advise to request the employer to change the contract on the grounds of reasonableness and fairness. Please contact us for a note.
