This depends on if you're a right to work state or a at-will employee. However, the rights are nearly identical.

  • You have the right to be paid for all hours worked, including approved overtime & benefits, in the amount agreed too by you and the employer.
  • You have the right to be free of discrimination on the basis of race, age, gender, disability, national origin or familial status.
  • You have the right to be free of work place harassment, intimidation, or recourse for filing good-faith complaints regarding such.
  • You have the right to be free of resources, including demotion and termination, for aiding in investigations by administrative agencies, state agencies, or other governmental regulators and investigators conducting investigations based off good-faith complaints you or someone else may have filed.

Sometimes, businesses enforce their employees to telecommute instead to save on office rent and space. So long as your employment rights and benefits are not violated, you can do so. But if you're being moved from being a full-time employee to a part-time worker or contractual worker, you have to talk to your employer first and renegotiate the terms of your employment - before you seek legal action.
