I have been employed by this company for 7 years as a full time employee. I am a single parent and have had to have a specific schedule so I can take my child to daycare. My employer has worked with me on my schedule for over a year now. Today I was told that they would have to change my schedule. I can't work anything except what I'm working now because I have no other options. They said I would have to go down to part time if I can't work their schedule. Can they do this?
Yes, in most cases they can and many daycare have a problem with providing part-time care. You can probably collect partial unemployment. You should apply for food stamps too.
Yes they can and they cut your pay and benefits as well. Shaws grocery store does that a lot even though they still work people 40 hours a week they put them on part time status. They get the same work out of people for less, which is a great way of rewarding good workers

You can accomodate your job...or not. If they've worked w/you for a year maybe it's time you worked with them. You'ld be surprised how creative you can be when you have to. I've had a job that required four bus transfers and a nearly 3 hr commute (one way)...you do what you have to do.

I agree with Koale. If you need the job and the hours, you find a way to make it work. They are being perfectly reasonable in their request, by the sound of it. They also allowed you to work a schedule that worked for you for 7 years so maybe looking at working one that works for them should be something you are willing to do.
I have worked whatever schedule they wanted me to work for the first 6 years. I only needed a set schedule after my baby was born. Believe me I have explored options even long before this happened and searched for ways to be more flexible, but I am truly out of options right now.

It seems like they are giving you two very reasonable options. Work there or don't work there.
The reason they are telling me this now isn't because the managers or company has a problem with my current schedule. There are new people that complained to management that I have a set schedule.

I'm sure they'd love a set schedule, too, so that is not unusual, and it presents management with a problem explaining discrimanatory treatment which had been afforded only you.
