Add Comment Question: Currently have a signed Temp full time contract until Feb 28. Today was presented with a letter to return to my previous casual position with a decrease of $2/hr in pay. Should I sign the new agreement or decline? Answer: Thank you for your question. My name is Jon Pinkus and I am an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. It may make sense to accept the new position if it is one that is still attractive to you, but generally speaking you do not have any obligation to accept a position at a lower rate of pay, unless the decrease is trivial.
