Employer Lied About Switching Me To Full-time (fl)
My job (OPS/at-will employee for a public university) has been telling me they will be changing me to a full-time, salaried/contracted A&P position for a year. I have this in writing multiple times. I am now the only employee in my department working 40 hours with no benefits/salary. Coincidentally (?), I am also the only employee with a reasonable accommodation, which is under scrutiny.
The paperwork to reclassify my position was signed and processed/approved by my bosses boss and HR. Then, my boss was fired, and the switch was put on hold indefinitely, despite bosses boss signing it and still being the authority. Now, my new, interim boss tells me my position won't be changed, but I still need to start working 40 hours with no benefits/salary. New boss also wants me to come back into the office every day (I wfh 2 days a week as an accommodation), because "other coworkers are ruining wfh for everyone," despite him telling me in the same breath that he knows I get my work done when I am remote. Also, my job promised to pay my full tuition as part of the benefits package, and I ended up having to pay $500 out of pocket.
Is this legal? Are employers allowed to revoke something like that with no explanation, or would that be false promises/fraud? I turned down a couple job interviews because I knew I would be going full-time at my current job. Is there anything I can do besides find a new job and quit?
