New job - differs from description/interview

[batman321123]

So I started a new job recently, but it has turned out to be something different from what I expected.

It turns out that the duties assigned to me are very different from what was written in the job description when I applied. In addition, I was told I'd be doing different things when I had gone in for the interview.

In addition, I had to take time off from school for this job and I turned down a few interviews from other companies once I got the offer for this position.

I am planning on talking to my employer about this tomorrow, but if they aren't very understanding, what kind of recourse do I have a from a legal standpoint?

There is nothing you can do, no one forced you to take the job.

With that said, i am not sure if this is your first job or not, but job descriptions are there to give you an IDEA of what you will do and what the job entails, it's certainly not the guide and regulation book as to your day to day task.

It also depends on what the job is and you are actually doing. If you give us more information we might be able to help you. By the sounds of it though this is a first job for you and you haven't been moulded into that "young professional" hahaha

Good luck.

absolutely there is something he can do. If while employed a job changes drastically it's considering a constructive dismissal. Similarly if he can prove that the job he accepted is nothing like was in his contract he could quit and theoretically get EI.

But bottom line is he could leave with a good reason.

you need to work 6months to get EI..
as for job description and what you do, is the way it works in the real world, all about multitasking...if you are not satisfied with your job, you will need to switch job.
