Hi , I could do with some advice on this on
I work for a small family company with 3 branches , I’m currently a branch manager of one of them , I have a couple of staff , a trade counter and deal face to face with customer , I’m also responsible for the smooth running of the branch which include sales , quotations, purchasing and so on . The company have decided to restructure the business and have decided to close my branch , I was aware of this verbally in November although I have not been officially notified in writing
They came down last week and cleared all the stock and then basically up rooted me and relocated me into a small office in an office complex ( one of these rent by month offices ) a couple of miles away , before this happened I asked my employer if he could confirm my new job title and job description., his reply was he doesn’t have to provide this information as my job isn’t changing ! I question this as my responsibilities and duties are changing .. all I will effectively be doing is answering a telephone and loading customer orders , the environment is completely different to where I was working before ie I came from a large airy branch seeing people and dealing with customers to being sat in an office with no one around me which I can only describe as solitary confinement
Is my employer in breach of contract?
