Question:
Where do I find information about getting a pay cut?
My boss called me into her office this week to tell me that Human Resources was wanting to cut my pay. I have been on my job for 12 years. They are saying that I make too much money for my position but I just received a raise 2 months ago. I have a different boss and different HR than when i started my job. I was promoted to my position after the former supervisor died. I was the next most qualified. HR approved it. They also approved me getting a pay raise with the promotion. I have been in the same position for about 8 years. So, can my employer do this? I searched on the Department of Labor but there is so much stuff on there I couldn't find what i was looking for. Could someone please help me out?

You might find a better answer if you post this question in another category.
Your employer can pay you whatever they want as long as it's above minimum wage and as long as they don't change it for time that you've already worked. It would be your decision whether or not to stay with that job.
