My employment contract states 20 hours per week of work and doesn't specify any specific shift times. I've been working 12pm-4pm Mon-Fri for several years. Can my employer force me to start taking an unpaid 30minute break, effectively keeping me on the job until 4:30pm? Or can they change my shift to 1pm-5pm? Would I be entitled to severance if I don't agree to either of these changes? Thank you.

Wondering if this is true or if this is just another threat from an employer trying to get people to quit instead of paying us our severance. Thank you.
