My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Michigan.
I was verbally notified that my position is to be eliminated, at the same time my employer has offered me a completely different position that I am qualified for. At first glance I was "ok" with this as I would still be employed and able to cover my living expenses, as no pay cut was mentioned. As the days have past with no transition to the new position I am hearing talk about having me continue to perform several of my old position's key functions while serving in my new position, which the two are not related. On the surface this appears to me that my employer may be requesting that I perform the work of two positions within the company almost by force of fear tactic by stating my position is being eliminated take this new position or face termination. Do I have a legal stance on this matter? Or is it simply I accept it or wait for termination and unemployment (if eligible). So the secondary issue would I be eligible?
I thank you for your time in advance...
