Property management

[Urgentbizz]

CA- I’m a Property mananger, my compensation changed, when two of my portfolio buildings sold, then i was part time. They then had me start paying rent. My question is do I require notice ahead? Or is it different because I’m an employee ? I wasn’t given anything in writing. Only a few phone calls before the change took effect. I went from 0 to above $500 with no written notice before hand. My compensation changed from a set rate to $12 with no notice of this change nor a updated contract. Stating rent or pay change. Is something wrong here ?

Written notice while a good idea is not required to change an employee's wages by law. But we don't know what the original contract you had with your employer said so we can't say if it required such notice.

What exactly does your contract say?

If you were provided housing as part of your employment compensation for the position you held as property manager, and your job position and duties have changed, your employer does not have to include housing as part of your compensation in your new position.

Time to seek employment elsewhere.

You are fortunate in some ways, Urgentbizz, that your employer has changed from providing you with free accommodations to charging you rent.

When housing is provided free to an employee as part of his employment compensation and the employment position is changed or terminated, the employer can move directly to court to evict the employee. When rent is paid, on the other hand, the employer must follow the landlord/tenant laws (which includes providing advance notice before there can be an eviction).

The above is absent any employment contract to the contrary.

I agree with adjusterjack that this might be a good time to start looking for another job.
