Legal Question in Employment Law in New Jersey

My boss has changed our pay check schedule from the 2nd and 16th of each month to the 7th and 25th of each month without notice, in addition he signed an employment contract that gives me flex time, but has since sent e-mails telling me this is not so, can he just change the terms of the contract without notice?

Unless a contract specifically states that it can be changed with less than the consent of parties, it cannot be changed unilaterally, i.e., without unanimous consent. Please feel free to contact me ASAP so that we may explore your options and protect your legal rights. 973-921-0600.

Kindly note and remember that my response is merely a general comment on the law related to your question, and NOT legal advice or opinion. Also, your question and my response does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between us. You cannot rely upon what I have written, because I do not have all of the information that I need to advise you or render an opinion. Even simple facts you have not shared can completely change my answer. For me to give you legal advice or opinion, you would need to hire me to be your lawyer, and then we would need to discuss this in detail and go over the documents.
