Legal Question in Employment Law in Utah

I am a supervisor for a large utility company that is government regulated. I was hired two years ago. When I was hired the wages and benifits that was promissed to me have been cut and I don't feel it was done legally. When I was hired the offer was to be salery for 40 hrs a week and anything over 40 hrs I would be paid straight time. They made good on this for my first year and half. Now I have to donate 10 hrs a week 20 hrs a pay period before I can get paid my overtime straight pay. They make me code my time sheets with OVTU overtime unpaid. Also they took all brevment away from us and it was only paid for imediate family deaths. They have raised my insurance so high it is better to source insurance outside the company. Also they have taken holiday's. Now today they announce that a bonus that was attractive in the hiring wage will also be taken this year. Bonus was not a huge amount but it would help pay for christmas for my family every year. Do I have a case or is it what it is.

If your employer has more than 15 employees and you send utilities over state lines you may be protected under federal law. If you have a written contract you can enforce that agreement.
