Relocation Agreement

Upon accepting my last job I signed a re-lo agreement that has pay back terms if I leave within 24 months. If they terminate me, there is no pay back.

The situation is wihin the first 9 months we have reorganized, I now work for a different company within our group of companies, with a different boss, different parameters, different title, and much lower in the organization. It is not the job or responbility level I signed on for.

The question is - is this enough for constructive discharge or am I stuck in this new role? I appreciate any help you can offer!

My employment contract does state: In a growing company like ours, the specific responsbilities of your job may change from time to time. In addition, Company XYZ reserves the right to change your assignments, duties and reporting relationships with prior notice.

Potential liability

You do not have a clearcut case for constructive discharge. Is relocation large amount? Is company unwilling to relieve you voluntarily? Will be glad to discuss with you.
