Most employers are "at will" so yes they can and often do need to make changes to your job criteria without our consent, however they should work with you on making sure you are aware and comfortable with these new situations (it sounds like they are not) which can be difficult coming back from a long time away.
While I was out on maternity leave a similar restructuring occured and I came back to a completely new job and group, that and coming back was stressful but we managed.
Be articulate and open with your boss with a values statement like, "I want to do a good job, and am thinking of ___" share a bit of your perspective and ask for theirs. Keeping responible for open lines of communication can help restore a more sane environment.

You sound British so I would think that you're s.o.l. They didn't terminate you, just transferred you to new responsibilities. If salary is unaffected no harm, no foul. You also didn't say how long you were out sick for. If it was for more than 3 months, I think that, just like in the USA, they don't have to give you the same job you left but one of equal pay, etc. If you were out a short period, they're sending you a message. You can go to Human Resources (LOL) and/or start looking for a new job. I'd opt for the latter.

Check your contract to see if the managment reserve the right to alter your contractual responsibilites...
If you still think you have been shafted go to www.acas.co.uk (if your a UK resedent) if not there should be an organisation in your country that helps when you get shafted at work.
ACAS are good - I was made redundant because "there was no money left to fund my position" when somebody was hired on 3 times my wage in the same week.
I won an unfair dismissal case and got a nice tidy sum :o)

Same thing happened to me when I went on holiday back in Nov last year. I protested and had to wait 9 months to get out of it, it was an area no-one liked working in so it was like everyone had to take their turn. I hated the fact they did it when I was off, but I think most companies can do that, as long as the job role is similar.

Do you have a contract of employment or Terms and Conditions of Employment ? there is a difference. I work for a Major multi national company (Nestle) and can be moved within the factory to any job also if they give us 90 days notice they can change our pay and hours of work...
In fact employment law is more in favour of the Employers than the Employees under Labour than it was under the Conservatists..
Either change your job or watch out for the Eastern European that is after it...

You should have a contract which outlines your job description. If the new proposal is far and away from what is stated on your contract the company are in breach! Advice from Citizens advice Bureau may be needed

I artwork on the Outback Steakhouse- administration is continually attempting to get us to do stuff thats no longer in our job description. often times i'd be wonderful and comply-- yet maximum situations I tell them to go f--ok themselves, and theres truly no longer something they could do in the different case. If this facilitates---> If i'm injured contained in the workplace doing something except my job description, they don't have any criminal responsibility to compensate me. seek for suggestion from the settlement you signed once you've been employed--- if reported initiatives isnt there, you do not have any criminal responsibility to do them... for the reliable of the agency or in the different case.

she can not do this they have to give you written and verbal notice usually a month. Your concerns should have been listened to. see the Citizens Advice Bureau for a chat and they will give you advice and help you deal with your employers by talking to them on your behalf if that's what you want to do. The service is free and they have trained professionals that can talk you through it all.

legally, you were employed to do xyz and it can only change by negotiation and with your consent * however* practically he's the boss and you need to bow to his desires. of course you can take him to court, pay a fortune, win the case a couple of years later only to be made so uncomfortable that you decide to leave.
