Yesterday at work, my employer called me I to the office and said because I broke a contract that I had to accept a decrease in pay. I signed no contract with them at anytime. Her along with the board are currently making contracts for the employees to sign. I was making 23$ and hour and she was decreasing me to 17$ an hour. I am afraid and don't know what to do. 23$ and hour was for my postion as quality assurance advisor at my center. I am preschool educator.

My wife is 69 years old has her own booking keeping and managing company that she set up to work for a small financial loan company approx. 20+ years ago. She was hired with a contract at the inception of the company. That company over the years has gone under a number of different names but in it`s current structure since 2005. Her position is office manager/corporate secretary/signing officer/book keeper. Her current salary of the last couple of years is $36,000 which she was forced to accept because of poor economic shape of the firm. Prior to that she was earning $80,000 per year plus bonuses and stock options. Her situation at the moment is that they are verbally offering her $25,000 to leave but they have not sent her a termination letter. Her contract states that the company can terminate her with 30 days written notice with no mention of severance. She has not been paid for April or May. Is she entitled to severance and how should she deal with not being paid ? Looking forward to your reply. Sincerely yours, Glenn

Being let because I was given information about an employee who was sexualy harassed and they pay her cash in order not to tell. She told me. I asked manager, he admitted this. I was fired shortly after saying they were outsourcing position. But hired a male to do the job under a different position name.

I was fired yesterday and there was no reason for dismissal in the documents after 4 years they offered me 3 weeks pay, 3 weeks vacation and $12000.00 severance is this the law
