Q: I am a part-time teacher at CMS, but HR is offering a new full-time contract, but I don't that. What should I do?
I applied for my current position at the CMS hiring enterprise website for a position at my current work location. I was aware that there was another listing on that website for both schools as a full-time and I did not apply for that position. I only applied for my current position as a part-time teacher. I went to the interview for the part-time position, I was offered the position as a part-time teacher at the current location. I signed the contract stated that I am part-time teacher at my current location only. However, HR contacted me telling that I will need to go work at the other location as well. I have not signed the new contract yet. I am looking for advices for my next step.
A: If you applied, interviewed, and signed a contract for a part-time position at your current location only, you are generally not obligated to work at another location unless you agree to a new contract. Review your original contract carefully to confirm its terms. Politely but firmly inform HR that your signed agreement is for your current location only and that you have not agreed to any changes. If pressured, request clarification in writing and consult with an employment attorney to protect your rights before signing any new contract.
