What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New Hampshire.
Back In September I was demoted. I forced to signed a new employee contract that stated in brief description they only thing to change was my hourly rate and all other employee benefits would stay the same. And at the end of the year when companies bonuses came out instead of my 10% I used to get I received 5% and when I directed my question to my newly appointment manager which originally told me after I signed my demotions that my bonus would not change, was directed to HR. HR told me that I received what I was supposed to receive because they calculate bonus on december 31st and that if I was a hourly employee on that date then I would only get that bonus percentage. But when I informed them about my contract and how it stated all my benefits would not changed. They said they had made a mistake in the contract and they would have to get back to me. After getting back to me my manager and I had a phone conversation which HR stated they were coming up with three different scenarios that would be to my benefit, but then my manager spoke up and said why are there scenarios, the contract we sent him and made him sign and we signed stated that only his hourly rate would change it is black and white what is there to discuss he gets his 10%. The HR person then told him that she thought he had other questions that needed to be answered outside of the current meeting and that she would talk to him after this meeting. Which she never did answer his question while I was in the room. So after I was forced out of that meeting basically he called her back and I found out he was verbally reprimanded for putting her on the spot like that.
All I want is what I was promised and I want to keep it. I have already gone through hell for this job, I mean my old manger basically tried to get me fired because he was getting fired for his mistakes then i was told I couldn't apply for his position because him and his boss were best buds and I wouldn't get it any ways, all of this because when his manager (his best friend) told me I was to be demoted due to victim of circumstance(basically my boss f-up and the higher ups do not think we know how to do the job) so they want some one new, and said are to freaking kidding me I have been doing my job and my bosses for the last three years and they want to demote me. it is not my fault my boss doesn't know anything about his job. I had tried helping him over and over and he keeps f-ing up thats not my fault. Which later I found out he then told my boss what I said because my boss to me that if I thought I have been his job and my that I should apply for it but I wouldn't get it because he has made sure I wouldn't get it. then find out he has paved the way for a guy that knows half of what I do get the job over me and then basically get black balled by him because he thinks he has to prove he knows more than me (which he doesn't) and because my old manager told him too.
So I am just tried of getting F by these people and just want what I was promised in my new contract.
Do I have a right to my 10% seeing I have a contract that states nothing will change. I mean in my new managers new said today it stated his bonus would go form 5% to 10%. So seeing that if my was to change when I was demoted wouldnt my have said the latter going form 10 to 5, which it wasn't supposed to.
Any help would be greatly appreciated I know the story is long, but all the stress is killing me, lost so many night of sleep worrying about my job and this.
Thanks in advance for any help,
