What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? I live in NC but the positions in question are both in SC, though I am "homed" according to their system in NC. The company is (obviously) multi-state.
Hello everyone. I was employed with a multinational company that decided to outsource the IT roles to vendors. The main vendor agreed to retain a certain number of people under certain terms - though the job functions would change somewhat. The main vendor brought in a 3rd party vendor to assist and the 3rd party also agreed to the above terms (specifically - wage). When the rollover date approached, the vendors realized that they had need of additional personal, and offered positions to the more senior employees who were not scheduled to be retained in any form. I am one of those "additional" types.
The position I was initially offered - due to the specific job functions and personal obligations - I refused. My employer then worked with me and they negotiated in writing (via email) with both vendors terms of my employment specifically relating to the role I was to play. Under those terms I accepted employment with the vendor. They proceeded with my hiring, but have refused to place me in the position agreed upon. Rather, they initially gave me no work (though they did pay me for it) - then asked if I would be willing to assist another employee handling the role I turned down. Now they have officially acknowledged in email that they see me as the "primary" in the role I refused - all while not ever providing me with the ability or opportunity to do the role that what initially negotiated. Please note this is a full time position, not contract.
I refused the initial offer and accepted the negotiated terms for a reason - and at this point they have intentionally abused my teamwork ethic and desire to add value to them by their actions of refusing to honor the agreement and instead putting me in the role I had refused.
Please realize now that the "official transition" date is past and my former employer is now locked into their own contract without the ability to push for the intended outcome.
What recourse do I have under these circumstances?
Thanks in advance.
