Re: annual reviews and cost of living raises

Unless you have an employment contract to the contrary, your employer can reduce or eliminate your annual review for any reason or for no reason at all. In fact, your employer can reduce your salary at any time (prospectively only, of course) as long as your total pay for a pay period is not below the minimum wage.
