Your boss depending on your job title may make changes even though they were made a month in advance. It could be for a very importamt reason, but you may try asking why if this applies to you, and gently and calmly refuse to accept the changes due to you having made plans when your boss made the schedule so far in advance.

Yes, an employer has every right to change the schedule with little or no notice. If you have made plans based upon a posted schedule, you should nicely explain your situation to your boss, and have already lined up switching shifts/days with someone else to cover for you. If presented calmly and with a solution that will not disrupt the employer, the employer should have no problem with letting you switch. If you don't want to find someone else to cover your shift, you can ask for vacation/personal time, but the employer has complete discretion as to whether they will allow you to take the time. If you suspect your employer has deliberately manipulated the schedule to get you upset because you are a minority or because of your religion or for some other protected reason, your employer would be discriminating against you. It is not discrimination if the schedule changes are applied to all employees without regard to race, religion, sex, age, etc.

A good boss would speak to people first. My experience is the boss does what she thinks she can do or he can do and get away with it. There are reasons for why this happens. Another employee may have an important date, you never complain about changes like I did not and eventually quit because I got tired of the inequity so they got stuck with the sorry employees. I found a better job. Someone may quit on them..FOR some reason, someone may get sick, someone may die, she may have to go for a meeting and change her schedule etc. Speak to her about it especially if you have children. Tell her that I need more notice because I have to make sure I have someone to supervise my young children etc. or my ride is not available at that time. A schedule is to help the company and bosss more than help the worker. Figure this out fast and work on becoming a boss yourself then remember how bad it was when such things happened. Speak to her nicely if this is making life hard on you. What my sisters said to me about these jobs and bosses is I was looking for a job when I found this one. It is better to start looking now and give them notice because you may find it is not much better elsewhere as bosses have thier hides to take care of to keep their paychecks. It is sad they ignore the better noncomplaining employees such that many places end up with incompetents, liars, thieves, lazy people etc. simply because it is too much effort for many bosses to think beyond I have a warm body so I can get a day off. Go find someone more intelligent to work for you will like it better and leave her to the ones who are making it so she has to keep changing the schedule. Those places tend to have theives so it is probably time to go job shopping ASAP

Yes. It happens. My schedule changes all the time. Usually because people are not reliable. If one person - THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME- comes to me and says that they have an appointment they forgot about. Then I have to rearrange the entire schedule. There is nothing else I can do. It's annoying because I put the schedule out far enough in advance for people to schedule their things on their days off - but they don't. And it's not as if I can leave it. I need certian numbers and people trained to do certian jobs on at certian times. It sucks. I hate it. I wish people were more responsible but I really am left with no other option.
Thats my reasoning. I'm not sure if your bosses is the same.

Most likely yes. You should get some kind of notice though. In my line of work we post a monthly schedule and give 24 hours notice for a shift change, that is changing the 8 hours in a given day. We give 2 weeks notice for a schedule change that requires changing a persons scheduled day off to a day of work.

Yes, unless you have some sort of a contract/written agreement/employee manual saying otherwise.
Thats why he is the boss and that why unions are good.They keep management in line and protect workers.

Sure. There's no law against being a boss who's insensitive to your schedule.

yes and I'm sure she didn't "may it out for the hole month" perhaps she "made it out for the whole month".
