What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WV
Recently, our medical office joined a larger FQHC group. They have a board of directors and a CEO. I was promoted to office manager six months prior to joining them. When the CEO was coming around in the beginning, he told me I would be getting more pay (he said they would want me to go salary), and I would get more authority to make decisions for my office. The new company has been experiencing money flow problems, so I didn't press the issue of my pay. They did a restructuring, of sorts, and made all of their employees upper management. I am still considered the office manager at my office, but with no extra pay and no authority to make changes. At the risk of sounding paranoid, I believe they are trying to weed me out, so that one of their employees can take my place. I keep getting set up by one particular employee who would be the one to take my place. I have documented everything, I have saved all emails and Instant Messages to cover me. I got my paycheck in the mail yesterday, and instead of Administration/Mgmt Dept. it now says Receptionist. I have not been notified in any way shape or form that my job is changing. The pay didn't change. If they try demoting me without just cause, do I have a case?
