We will go from $16.25 per hour down from $22.15. I am on a 1 year contract and it doesn’t seem right that they can do this.

Based upon what you have written about your employer is engaging in unfair trade practices. I suggest that you immediately consult with a labor law attorney and/or a representative with your local department of labor to see what legal options you have and then you make your decision as to how you want to proceed.

The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person.

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
