Legal Advice on Dismissal & Job Changes

Questioner

Dear, Halfway through the month I submitted my resignation due to a new challenge. I am currently still on the payroll of a company that has deployed me to another company. I am an account manager and on the road 2 to 3 days a week. Now I have been informed in writing that I can carry out my work this week and then immediately receive projects 5 days a week in the office, from data analysis to outbound sales calls and cleaning up the data system. This is for a period of 4 weeks, after which the company where I am on the payroll would look into what kind of work they could give me. Do I have to agree that I have to sit in the office 5 days a week (with extra travel time because of this)? My contract contains a work title description, nothing else. I am a person who wanted to sit out my shift properly, but I feel uncomfortable with this. I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards

I think there are a number of special aspects to your case that make answering your question a bit more difficult: - you have partially resigned (given notice) - what is your 'real employer', the material or formal (payroll) - unilateral change of function. The last two parts in particular are legally difficult to assess based on your story. I have a feeling that your employer is not acting entirely correctly, but for now I must advise you to contact an employment lawyer who can advise you further on this based on all the file documents.

Dear Lawyers, I have submitted my resignation to my client as to the formal employer. However, the client now wants to change my function without my approval, while I was honest enough to submit my resignation in time so that follow-up (and implementation) could be ensured. What are my rights and obligations (towards the client and the formal employer) since I had taken into account that I would fulfil my function until 31 December? Thank you guys!

Thank you for your further explanation. However, I cannot give any sharp advice on your situation because it seems (to me) quite complicated. I would like to help you further, and I think it would be wise if you contact an employment lawyer directly.
