When a person changes their job responsibilities, they need to be aware of what can be considered a reasonable change in the latitude of their position and what can constitute termination. Sensible changes are those that do not change the essential position. Below are examples of the unfair and fair job changes: • An administrative staff member who is inquired to undertake lunch coverage of the reception duties or learn current system could be taken to fall within the scope of an Office Assistant. • Moving the same Office Assistant into a role which contains basic of food and beverage service could constitute a redundancy situation.

On that same note, the corporate world is rapidly changing and many job expectations are becoming unstated or implied. Often times training materials for positions cover standard policies without actually detailing the roles within a certain position.
