Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Unless you have an actual employment contract specifying raises will be given, you have no right to a raise. Your job description is not a contract, and your employer can change it whenever they want.

The employer is entitled to set and change hours, duties, titles, compensation, benefits, leaves, vacations, holidays, policies, rules, etc. just not retroactively. Not only are there no laws against poor management, 'unfair treatment', or rude and obnoxious behavior by management or other employees, but in general unless an employee is civil service, in a union, or has a written employment contract, they are an 'at will' employee that can be disciplined or terminated any time for any reason, with or without �cause�, explanation or notice.

Therefore, any employee's goal should be to keep their supervisors happy and make them look good to the company, and make the company money. That�s how the company pays employee wages. If you don't, then don't be surprised to be replaced.
