Fired for wanting money owed to me
What is the name of your state? Maryland
I was hired to work for a company as a District Sales manager for a small company. Ill give the readers digest version. I had discovered tha when my employer had given me a pay raise that the raise did not go into effect the day the status change was submitted( yes it was dated and signed) After about a month and a half I did a little reasearch with the payroll company and found that they had missed out on 1500.00. So i wrote a letter to the owner of the company, where i had specifically documented the dates and the amounts that were owed to me. The owner after recieving the letter, had notified me the next day, that i was suspended and not allowed on the property untill further notice. After about two weeks, I had started to recieve some of the money owed to me, There reason was an error on their behalf. Since i did not recieve all my money I had called the owner back, who said he was finished with me, and paid me all he was going to pay. Not to mention he dropped my salary from 14.42/hr to 5.25/hr. He sent this notice on the 15th of may( same day i was suspended) and backdated the letter to the 28th of April.
I guess my questions is can he legally fire me, for sending him a letter demanding my wages. YES I DID SIGN A AT WILL AGREEMENT. And i do have proof he fired me because of the letter
If a pay cycle goes from the 23 - 7. Can he make a change on the 15th of may and backdate it to the 28th of April/ and could he change the rate of pay in the middle of a pay cycle.
I have been out of work for over a month and half now. Is there anything i can do to make this guy pay the price?
