With over a decade of experience in the quality assurance arena, I relocated to a new city by buying a home. I accepted a job with a growing, apparently prosperous company with a set yearly salary. After one month, I was moved into a different department and given different responsibilities. I asked for a "signed" agreement that contains the new salary ($3000/year less than the original), over time allowance, vacation time, and review time. It was signed by the necessary people. One month later at my sixty day review, I was told I was doing a wonderful job and that I was well liked but, due to budget cut backs in quality, I would be making $10,000/year less starting the following Monday (today). This brings the total reduction in salary to $13,000/year and not a dollar of it was blamed on my lack of performance, etc. Is this legal? Is there anything I can do? This company is prosperous...they have broken ground for a facility massively larger than the existing one. They have wonderful benefits and I really like my manager in quality. Help?
