What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan.
I am a salaried supervisor at an at-will employer. People who work for me often work Saturdays (OT). Since I took over this job 3 years ago I have never been required to be there on Saturday when they're working. Previously, I worked in another department at this same company. The president of the company says that it is now a requirement for the job that I be present (at least 1 out of 4 Saturdays) when my people are working them. There was no written job description when I took the post. They have told me that it is a "deal breaker" or "show stopper" if I don't agree, meaning they will find someone else to manage the department. My question is: If I refuse and am terminated, does this "refusal" to agree to a new job requirement disqualify me from unemployment benefits?
