I work at a privately owned child care center, and my boss had told me she’s taking me off of the schedule yesterday and today. But she called me this morning telling me i had to come into work today and that i had no excuse not to. She also told me i had to be there before my normal time. I just want to know is she allowed to do that ?

Hello ****,
In Maryland, an employer can generally change an employee's schedule without notice. However, they should respect any contract or agreement that states otherwise.
- Maryland doesn't have a law that mandates employers to provide advance notice of schedule changes.
- Check your employment contract for any specific terms about this.
If you believe your rights are being violated, you may want to consult with a local employment lawyer.
