Hello,
I need assistance with a work-related issue in Japan. Initially I was hired for administrative accounting with a guaranteed 6-hour daily work schedule, I now find myself under a zero-contract, reassigned to housekeeping. The company claims this is due to the upcoming season starting on December 21st. Many colleagues were also denied their promised positions, labeled as “All rounders” expected to handle various tasks.
We’ve been working beyond our contracted hours, tackling unexpected responsibilities such as renovating another hotel, Xplore, without prior notice during the interview process. The tasks included dealing with black mold and operating without essential professionals like plumbers. Is it legal for a foreign company in Japan to make such changes? How should I address this situation?
