I was hired to teach a certain amount of credit hours, and i signed paperwork that listed the number of hours and it's pay. Now I was told that they cannot hire me for that amount of hours, because the state forbids it, since I am a temporary staff hired for the summer only.
The main condition for me taking the job was that I would get the number of hours indicated on the first contract. I told them upfront that I would probably not take the job if I were not given those credit hours. They accommodated me but now changed their mind.
The VP has talked to me and admitted that this seems like a Bait and Switch scenario, and it certainly feels that way.
Is there any legal ground for me to stand on? Should I see a lawyer? Is it worth the trouble?
I have emails and paper work that document this. I have not signed the new contract
You opinion and guidance would be greatly appreciated.
