Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

Federal Pay

I want to know if a Federal Agency can change the rate that they intended to pay you at anytime?

I was hired in early 2006 and received an employment letter stating how I was going to receive pay raises as I completed training. The agency has since changed the pay system tha they follow.

Am I entitled to the original pay, in accordance with the original pay system that was stated in my hire letter?

Re: Federal Pay

It depends. Where you to be paid pursuant to a contract? If so, you might have a claim for the difference in pay. Otherwise, an employer is generally free to modify compensation, with exceptions like minimum wage.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
