Yes. Except for contract employees (most employees are not contract employees) the employer can change duties, hours or location as they see fit. This is called an at-will relationship which means the employee can quit or the employer can fire at any time for almost any reason.
(Employees operating under a contract generally know this and have certain rights to enforce the terms of their contract).
