What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? KY
I was informed that my position was being renamed and lowered two pay grades, even though the requirements and duties are the same. I was told that I was only going to be lowered one grade since I have a degree. Now they want me to sign a job description at 2 grades lower. If I sign this, does that mean I agree to work at the lower grade? If I don't sign it, can they fire me? What are my rights? Would I be entitled to unemployment benefits?
