What is the name of your state? North Carolina
I work for a large company that is currently restructuring from having Divisions to having larger Regional departments. Due to this, the jobs at the various divisions are understandably being centralized to one location or another.
The company will not pay to help offset the cost of relocating if the employee wants to keep the job, and will give them "first dibs" on any open positions that is still a divisional department/at their location if they do not or can not relocate - assuming there are any positions and if they qualify, of course.
However, the employee must also take a paycut to the entry level pay for that position. It hardly seems right that the company can move your job, not offer to pay to help relocate, and then says "If you stay, you have to take a paycut." (which for many of these positions, would be over half their existing pay, especially for the established employees of these positions). And if neither of those 'solutions' works, they'll fire you.
Is this legal, is there any recourse (besides obviously going to find another job)? Thank you!
