Re: Change Title/Job Description to completely diff dept

More | Report Post

Yes. An employer can change a job title or job duties as
they see fit. Remember, as irritating or displeasing as it
may be, they pay you to do a job for them. The only
exception would be if you signed an employment agreement.
Otherwise, if you decide that you wish not to do the new job
or job duties, move on to another company.
