Legal Question in Employment Law in New York

I have worked for my current company for over three years at my current location and they had hired someone in my position and they are now reassigning to a traveling position. I live in NYC and the areas are in New Jersey in two locations and Long Island I will not be offered the commission I have been making in NYC and I have no car and have to take public transit and cabs to get to work. The travel will be 2 to 3 hours per day to and from, when my original travel was 15 min. Is this legal to change your tittle and locations you were hired for?

Yes. Employment in New York is considered at-will, meaning that an employer can not only fire you at any time for any non-discriminatory reason, but that they can alter your title, hours, location and anything else that has not been previously agreed upon in writing per a binding employment contract.

Good luck!
