Hi mrswitt2011,

Thanks for posting. Do you have a written contract of employment that states what hours you should work? If your hours change, is their a clause in your contract that mentions how you and your employer are supposed to arrange your working hours? It is in your contract that you should find your answers.

It does seem unreasonable that your employer is able to change your hours without giving you reasonable notice. Perhaps you could explain to your boss that you were unaware she had changed your hours and discuss a way that both of you can be informed reliably when you are supposed to be working.

Good luck,
