Pay cut

I want some input on this please. I took this job in January that paid very well. Today, I got a call from HR saying they made a mistake with my pay rate and needed to drop it. I'm talking almost $10.00 difference. My question is that can this be done as I signed my acceptance letter ( which is an legal agreement between myself and this company)? All your views will greatly appreciated because I have never heard if this. Thanks

I imagine if there is no real contract you will either have to agree to take the cut or find work elsewhere. They can always "eliminate your position" and let you go

Signing an offer letter is not the kind of legal agreement you think it is. An offer letter is not a contract.

Ummm, yeah. They can do that. I would also imagine that you signed somewhere that you are employed at their discretion too.

They can do that. I worked for an organization that after six months , some man in regional ranks decided I made too much. So I was told to keep my job I had to reapply for my position at a 30% lower rate. Two days later, I had a job recruitment offer elsewhere for more money and better hours. I did not reapply for original place and had to go as the spot was cut, however already had a new job.

Something similar happened to me too, I was fired and they told me I had to reapply and that they would rehire me (at a lower pay rate) once a job became available. I never reapplied and drew unemployment off of them.

That sucks. But companies and government agencies do it. I have a feeling it isn't just in medical fields. I can see many factories and government contractors doing it.
