Employment Contract

When i started working for my company i filled out a form stating days i would not be available. To me this is a contract. Now we have a new manager and he says that i have to fill out a new form and be available all times or going part time. He also said he was getting rid of all part timers. He said i have til the 19th of Jan. to do this. Is this an employment contract and can they just change it. Do i have to sign a new form?

Without seeing the document no one can say for certain, but the *overwhelming* likelihood is that a form stating your availability is NOT a contract.

In the absence of a contract, your employer can schedule you for any time they need to. They are not obligated to schedule you only when it is convenient for you.

In the absence of a contract, they can change the terms of your employment at random.

You do not have to sign a new form, but your employer may terminate your employment if you do not.

Feel free to show the form to a local attorney, but I wouldn't be holding my breath on it being a binding contract.

Well, it is not a contract. It's simply information.

There's no law against not having p[art time employees.

then what is the sense to filling out a new one if they don't have to honor the first one

Your choice, but if they want you to fill out the new one and you refuse, they can fire you for it.
