What is the name of your state? Michigan
About 3 months ago, it was announced that all employee's would be given a 20% pay cut due to hard times. "We are all in this together" were the CEO's words. Within two weeks the CEO and one other employee's wages were returned to normal. Within another two weeks, our hourly employee's returned to five days pay. Myself and two other salaried employee's were told that our salaries would remain at 80%. When asked how long this would last, we were given no bench marks or time period. Now, we have hired another new salaried employee and he has been hired at this full salary.
Can an employer cut salary's willy-nilly? Do I have a case for discrimenation? The four salary employees that are at full salary have a maximum seniority of 5 years. The three salaried employees that have been cuts have a minimum of 15 years seniority.
