Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

Re: firing- separation notice

At-will employment means that the company can essentially impose any job requirements it pleases, so long as no law is violated. It is perfectly legal for an employer to unilaterally assign an employee to a different shift, on a take-it-or-leave-it basis. The exception would be where the shift-change decision was based on unlawful discrimination (i.e., based on race, color, gender, age, religion, national origin, or disability) or retaliation (e.g., for complaining about discrimination or participating in an investigation of alleged discrimination).

If you resign, you are typically unable to collect unemployment.
