Legal Question in Business Law in Minnesota
I am a waitress/server in Minnesota. My boss just told us that we have to start doing food prep and washing dishes (previously cooks jobs) because they are cutting back cooks hours. Is this fair or legal because I am only paid minimum wage and am not eligable for pay raises? Can I say I won't do it and have a legal standpoint?

As a Franchise Attorney I can say the following. Without a written employment agreement, or a union, a job is "at will," meaning the employer can change duties, pay, hours worked, etc. whenever it wants. Of course, "at will" works both ways. You can quit without notice if you don't want to accept the changes. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
