Legal Question in Employment Law in New York

Re: Wage Reduction

I assume you mean hired, not "hored" (freudian slip?). Assumimg there is no contract, no union, the reduction in pay is not retaliatory for an illegal purpose (whistleblowing, discrimination) and your rate of pays remains above minimum wage, (and the tax withholding drops along with the percentage of reduction) there is no legal obligation for the employer to keep your pay static. It can go up or down. Of course, a reduction in pay is better than unemployment on the other hand you are always free to turn down a wage reduction by finding another job with higher pay.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can call my office to schedule an appointment for a consultation or in the alternative, I can be reached for on-phone low-cost legal consultation at 1-800-275-5336 x0233699.
