Re: Pay cut
If your grievance against your supervisor involved a violation of a law, rule, or regulation, you may have a claim under Florida Whistleblower law. If you are 40 years old or over and were replaced by a younger employee, you may have an age discrimination claim under either Florida or federal law. If your employer penalizes you for responding to a subpoena, you may also have a claim. You need to have a consultation with an employment law attorney asap. Good luck.
Re: Pay cut
What type of grievance did you file against your supervisor? That would have a lot to do with whether you have a claim. As to the subpoena, if it is for you to appear in a court near where you reside, you need to comply with the subpoena or get the attorney that issued the subpoena to excuse you. Call the attorney and see if you can furnish a deposition or something to avoid attending court.
