Legal Question in Employment Law in Massachusetts

Home Office Usage

I was hired by a company which is located out of state 3 years ago and was told to work from my home until my production reached a certain goal. I have sinced passed this goal yet they are forcing me to work from my home still and will not pay rent for a new office as we agreed. I then submitted a ''rent'' bill for my home office and it was rejected. I am being forced to work from my home and am not getting paid for it. Is this legal? What recourse I have?

Unless you have a written contract specificing terms regarding your office, your employer calls the shots. If specific oral agreement that employer has admitted to in writing, may have contract claim but expensive to prosecute, you don't recover attorney's fees and it takes too long for resolution.
