Add Comment Question: An employee was asked to temporarily (12 months) work at a different branch to assist in set up of a new location. This employee accepted, signed a new contract with an increase in pay, commission, plus vehicle expenses for the extra commute. The agreement to return to the original branch was not specified in the contract, but understood in a verbal agreement. 6 months in, the employee requested to return to the original location because the commute was too difficult. The employer agreed but reverted the salary to the pre-move amount, no commission and the job description/position changed. Is this acceptable - for either party? Answer: Since the company did not have the obligation to return the employee to the old location after only 6 months, it could impose conditions on its agreement to do so. If the employee does not want to have their compensation changed, the employee can stay at the new branch for 12 months as agreed.
