Re: Salary
Probably, just like they could raise your pay, change your duties, transfer you or fire you. You are an 'at will' employee unless you have a written contract, which would determine these issues. Only IF the change is illegal discrimination, or illegally retaliatory in some provable way would you have a claim.
