What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? GA
I have been working for my company for 13 years. For ten years, in addition to my contracted position, I held an appointed leadership position in my division. This year, I was asked to continue my appointment, I accepted, received written confirmation of the appointment, term of service (75% of the fiscal year), job description and what my compensation would be for the appointment, as in years past. My track record in this role has been exceptional.
About 6 weeks after the appointment offer had been made and accepted and I was already serving in the role for the term of appointment, a new supervisor took over our division. Two weeks later, I was removed from the appointment without notice or explanation and the new supervisor appointed a colleague with whom they shared a long personal relationship with. This resulted in a 15% decrease in my wages.
Is this an express contract? My HR department says just because I received the above in writing, it does not constitute a contract. At the very least, am I entitled to compensation for the time I did work, as the term of appointment had already begun and I was fulfilling the duties (which I can document) as described in the job description?
