I have worked for a "not for profit" association for almost ten years. Last year my supervisor decided that he would transition a major portion of my job responsibilities into a new position. It was decided that the new position would require specific certifications and degrees that I do not have. Even though I had been performing the duties for almost fice years, I was told not to apply for the position. I did, however, apply but did not get the position. It went to an outside candidate whom met all required qualifications. Over six months later, my job description was changed deleting the "new" position's responsibilities and adding lower level tasks. Although the changes have not affected my pay check (yet), I was told that I would have to cover for the "new" higher level position that I supposedly did not qualify for. Although this may not be fair - is there any legal basis to stand on? I know Maryland is an "at will" employment state, which seems to mean they can fire me without cause and I can quit anytime. Is there any legal protection against being "required" to do someone else job -- that used to be mine -- but given away to someone else who more makes money than me?
