Legal Question in Administrative Law in Florida

wages offered/actual wages paid

I work as part of a management team that is salaried, giving us the ability to hire/fire employees. We hired on several employees. The job was offered at a specific rate, the employee accepted. First pay check there was a letter in it from a higher management person stating that they were hired on at the wrong amount and then lisited a lower amount. It is above min. wage, but is this legal and is there something in writing I can get my hands on to fight this injustice?

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

That is an internal problem at the company in which you work. If the person is higer up in the management team, they apparently have the power to override your decisions. If you make too much of a fuss, they might be able to terminate you so you need to be careful.
