I work as a Quality Supervisor in a blood plasma center. Yesterday, corporate implemented a change that requires the Quality Supervisors to do a cash audit once a week as a check to make sure the money isn''t being mishandled by the center management team. Nowhere in my job description (or during the month of training I received) did it say I would ever be handling cash. Had I know I would be handling cash at some point, I wouldn''t have accepted the position. No revised job description has been issued. One of our essential job functions is to "perform other duties as assigned", but I feel as though cash handling is a major change and should have been outlined in detail. Do I have the right to refuse to perform the cash audits?
