Is this an enforceable contract clause...

[Amleto]

Employment contract term:

The Employee shall serve the Company as Consultant or such other role as the Company considers appropriate.

Can this be used (legally) to make you do more menial tasks indefinitely (specifically testing)? I'm wondering if it would/should be considered constructive dismissal or if the above is a valid get-out clause.

The problem is not doing your titled role at all and being stuck doing something different on the scale of 6~24 months

It would hinge on just how different the role is I would imagine. The example above is a good one - if you're paid as say procurement staff and are being asked to clean toilets every day then that's unlikely to wash. If however you're being asked to help out detailing draft contracts(unlikely as it is) then I can't see there being much wrong with that.

as I mentioned in OP, titled role is 'Consultant', but actual duties are software/tablet tester. It's perhaps a bit of a grey area, and acceptable for short-mid term. But I don't think this is reasonable once the time scale gets over ~9 months. Do others agree or disagree here?
