Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida
Job Repositioning
Employer requested job to be relocated from telecomputer to in-house work. Job position replaced with 2 new positions, thereby eliminating current position. Original agreement upon acceptance of position was to work from home and compute to home office when required. Eliminating job no compensation given by Company as Company maintains position offered in-house. Unable due to personal reasons to accept in-house position which would have required moving from home to location of home office. Company aware of personal reasons and my willingness to accept any position. Company in past has created positions when ''business need'' has changed. No offers made. Employed with Company 14 1/2 years.

Re: Job Repositioning
Absent a written contract for a position that had spelled out the term (# of years) and compensation to be paid, there is unfortunately no recourse for the facts described. Florida is an at will state, meaning that employees have no right or expectation of continued employment (legally speaking).
