So 18 months ago I got this job that is 50% travel. It's base salary plus $150/day bonus for every day I travel. Expenses are paid, and I get 52.5c/mi if I take my personal vehicle. I have all of this in the employment offer letter.
In July, my company was purchased by an overseas entity. We were informed last week that starting in January we will no longer get the travel bonus (which, for this year, I will have made roughly $25,000 on travel bonus alone). Okay, fine, we said. We just won't travel.
Well today my department got an email saying "it is in your job description that you wil travel. This will not change." They will not pay us to travel, and they are evasive on whether or not they are going to up our salaries to compensate.
If I refuse to travel, can they terminate me? Even though I have the offer letter saying they'll pay me for travel?
