Legal Question in Employment Law in New Jersey

There is nothing illegal about changing a job's responsibilities. However, such a substantial change of responsibilities might be treated as a constructive discharge. That is, the company will probably not be able to prevent you from collecting unemployment benefits if you are fired because you decline to perform the new duties. All that assumes that you don't have a written contract that would spell out your responsibilites and the employer's obligations. � See also: http://info.corbettlaw.net/lawguru.htm
