§ 87420 Legislative Authority Over Employment

Key Takeaways

  • •The rules for some government jobs can be changed or canceled anytime by the lawmakers.
  • •If you have one of these jobs, your job rules can change even if you don’t like it.
  • •This law doesn’t let workers say their job contract is broken if the rules change.

Example

A teacher gets hired under rules that say they get a pay raise every year.

The government can change the rules later and say there are no more automatic pay raises. The teacher can’t say, 'That’s not fair—you promised!' because this law says the rules can always be changed.
