Do you have a contract with your employer regarding your salary and its terms? If not, then your employer can change your salary/wages at any time, so long as it's not illegal (such as for discriminatory reasons, or falls below minimum wage). You work in Michigan and, therefore, Michigan laws would apply to any employment issues.
