Legal Question in Employment Law in New York

I work for a corporation as a retail employee. I was promoted and changed stores over a period of 20 years with the company. I am going back to Grad School and transferring to a smaller store and lower job title, when I held that title at a previous smaller store within the company, I made $12 per hour. In the position I am in currently, I make over $20, the small store I am being transferred to into a part time position is now offering me $10.15 per hour. Can the company do this? It seems like I am going back to the same position I had when I made $12. Do I have any rights here?
