Can my employer just drop my money like that?

Scotty

Any company who would do that when you make so little to begin with isn't worth working for anyways. If you have been with them that long, you have enough experience to get a better paying job somewhere else. I'd start looking for another job if I were you, you should be able to find something in retail fairly easy.

First of all, No Olyinka, if they do that and an employee leaves as a result it is constructive dismissal. This person has more than 1 year of continuous service therefore there is full protection under employment protection law.

You have a contract of employment and it cannot be altered unless both parties agree as has been previously stated by my learned colleague with the B A in law has told you. If you are in a union then talk to the union rep. If not seek the advice of a solicitor asap.

Good luck

Unless you have a Union contract or a written contract to pay a certain salary for a certain period, yes.

Check your contract, speak to someone from personel or HR, if you dont have that department speak to the CAB

FREAKZILLA

of course he can , you are doing a service for him , he can pay you whatever he wants , in return you can find another job , it is wrong but not illegal

Speak to an employment specialist at your local CAB!

Sweetie!

Depends on your contract and terms of employment.

A Head Cashier on Â£6.42/hour, sounds like a right Mickey Mouse outfit to me. Tell them to stick the job where the sun don"t shine, and find yourself a job with someone who will treat you as a person, not just a piece ****.

Probably can - check with the Dept Of Labor in your area.

At $6/hour you should be able to skip to another company and get more no problem.

Unless you have a employment contract or are a member of a labor union or are a member of a protected group your employer has the right to set the conditions of employment and you have the right to refuse them.

There you have it you just got free legal advise from derek B who has a BA in Law. I would still advise you to tred carefully because your employer might kick up a stink just to get rid of you. You can still become an affiliate of any Union who will definitely fight your case.

if you want the job they can pretty much do whatever they want to! Make a fuss and they'll find a reason to get rid of you.

NO, as I understand it, it is illegal for to decrease a wage.

Sure, they can do what they want. A corporation is not a person and has no feelings. Our workplace is as close to a kingdom as we can get.

No.
You have a contract with your employer, whether written, verbal or implied.
Your employer cannot change the terms of your contract without your agreement.
Try ACAS, failing that, take them to a tribunal. Doesn't cost anything.
