Don't do it unless they offer something substantial like a decent severance package in exchange for your signature.

My husband and I share a vehicle and the hours they are making mandatory prevent me from getting too and from (day and afternoon shift). I asked my HR department for my original employment contract and they responded that it is missing from my file and will search for it. I've had to ask three more times and now this lady is avoiding me. They told us about this shift change on March 13th and want us to sign our consent papers but March 31st or else we will be signing resignation papers. Isn't this insanely illegal?Lindsay Cloughtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13520170217988898971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1685903630161577363.post-57142150903982729342015-03-25T07:53:28.294-04:002015-03-25T07:53:28.294-04:00Ive recently asked my HR department of 6. 5 years ...Ive recently asked my HR department of 6. 5 years if I can have a copy of my employment contract as the company just decided to do shift work without our consent and if forcing the hour change (husband and I only have one vehicle and can't afford another). HR department said that they don't have a copy of it in my file or a copy of it on the computer. I've asked 3 times now and I know they aren't giving it to me because it clearly states my hours and doesn't say that it will change. I'm not a right fighter but I absolutely can't change my 8 am start shift to 6:30am as well as work 3 pm to 11:30pm for afternoon's and the company is telling me to consent or resign... they won't dismiss me because they would have to pay me severance. I don't know what to do now, it's looking as if I have to walk away as they are refusing my original contract to me...Lindsay Cloughtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13520170217988898971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1685903630161577363.post-80694077255864491422013-07-24T17:20:44.262-04:002013-07-24T17:20:44.262-04:00Hi Jessica.

I ask this because I was fired without a written warning and remember that it was specifically stated in the handbook that a written warning is it be given before termination.
