Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Okay, so, I signed a contract when I was hired. It gives my compensation package of 10/hr and states my employment would be for a year then can be renewed. It also states that if I quit and don't give thirty days notice all my wages and commission will be lost for that pay cycle.
However, recently I was put on a monthly salary of 1200 dollars a month. I did not agree to this verbally or in a new contract. Im curious if this is a breach of contract on the part of the employer? I believe it is since my pay amount was clearly stated in my contract of X amount of dollars for every hour of service.
Thank you.

You should retain legal counsel to review the "contract." The key issues that need to be analyzed are whether you actually had a contract and whether you were an at-will employee or an employee with a valid written contract for a specified term.
