Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia
Two contracts-Two different salaries
Is it legal for an employer to offer a written contract with one salary and the employee accepts that offer, but then the employer sends the employee another contract three months later with a lower salary? What are the legal ramifications regarding switching an employee's salary without prior notification?

Re: Two contracts-Two different salaries
What do the original contract provisions state in regard to salary? If there are no provisions binding the employer to pay you x salary for x period of time, then,of course, the employer is free to present you with a new contract at any time with altered compensation provisions. You, of course, are not ogligated to agree with the new terms, but would be well advised to begin looking for a new job, if you don't.
