Legal Question in Employment Law in Mississippi

I signed a hiring form at work and so did our HR person. It said they would pay me a certain amount and we both agreed to it. 3 monthes later, they said they made a mistake and wanted to cut my pay dramatically. Can they change my rate of pay based on a "Mistake on their end"?
