What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New Jersey
I'm working with a bookkeeper at my company, my pay schedule use to be the following; June ‘16 used to be my period 12 and July ’16 would start pay period 1 again, however, they want to move us so Sept ’16 will be pay period 1.
So this bookkeeper just took my salary and divided it by 14 months, so by Sept ’17 my department would be on the same pay schedule as everyone else, however, this seems illegal to me!
My argument is you can't take my new salary contract which is for a 12 month salary and stretch it to 14 months just so I'm on the same pay schedule as everyone else. So basically they are paying me for month 13, 14 but taking it from my existing 12 month salary instead of these payments coming from the company's pocket.
Is there any legal documentation explaining how the calculation they are using is not legal because they are stretching my salary to 14 months?
Thank you!
