It is actually illegal for any employer to reduce your pay without notice or it being written into a position acceptance letter that if certain... criteria is not met a reduction in pay will take place. If the company reorganization took place and your position changed this must also be in an acceptance letter agreeing to the position and title change with a reduction in pay because said position changed. The department of labor takes this type of behavior of employers very seriously  more

Salary is something I don’t think any of us play with and in this economy with this inflation! It may be hard but start looking for something else. ... I have a great opportunity if you are interested but in the meantime i couldn’t take a reduction and for no reasons no way! more

Sad, what does your employment contract say? Anything in the policy? Kindly find out.

Did your boss give you a reason? It happened to me years ago. His reason? He was getting married, buying a new house, and his expenses were going... to increase. He said he needed the money. Well, so did I! I was a single mom, struggling to pay my bills. I ran the office, had built a great rapport with clients, and even came in suffering with a herniated disc in my back. My work was exemplary. I walked out and never returned. I suggest you do the same. It's not worth the financial and psychological impact it will make on you. I would rather make less money than let someone do that to me.

Have a sit down with your boss talk then make a decision based on the outcome of that meeting

The boss is trying to get you to leave. Many states are "at will" which means they can give you the boot for no reason at any time. Get another job... where you WILL be appreciated.  more

Go get a new job, your company sucks

Just at the glance of the comment, your boss might look wicked. But the question is are you doing enough for the company?
What's your input in the... company?
What value are you adding to the family?
You need to consider asking yourself all these questions. You must be very sincere to yourself for the answers you provide. If the answers to the questions are negative, then you need to add value to yourself by growing in your business (what you do). If the answers are positive, then you must consider enquiring from your boss. I believe there are better reasons to the decision.  more

Time to polish the resume and start interviewing. The company is clearly in trouble

This is in line with the code of Conduct but the HR would communicate timely.

lots of criticism of your boss/job here.
understandable—on the surface, this doesn’t sound like a great environment. perhaps the best thing might be... to leave.
also good for commenters to understand the context better. sometimes paycuts are honourable & needed to keep the business afloat.
during early covid the adbiz was paralyzed. my boss cut his own salary to zero. asked many people (including me) to take 20% cuts, asked some people who literally had no work to do to take some unpaid leave, all to make as few layoffs as possible. everyone understood & agreed. this all helped keep the company together. it survived & thrived. promises were kept. foregone pay was made up. it was a good decision. everyone worked together to turn things around. sometimes companies hit hard times but are still worth saving.
not saying that’s your situation obv. but what are you putting into your job? do you love your job? are you enthusiastic about it? how about the company itself? are you proud of the company? proud of tbe work you’re doing? could you be doing a better job? does it interest you to try? have you shared your feelings about your paycut, your job, your company etc with your boss. that might help you decide on next steps way more than all these comments based on minimal information…. more

This is a two way traffic affair. First, are you doing enough based on your job description. Second, did it affect the entire organization or just... you alone. Meditate on that more

Start actively looking for another job. They just said they don't value you

It is unlawful and a breach of contract. Please consult with the HR to find out what is the reason. If no actual reason is provided, escalate the... matter with caution because the employer might use this to victimise you... more

First read your JD properly and fullfil your duties, ensure you don't arrive late. Avoid anything that can lead to a warning letter. Deny him any... chance of sacking you directly. Secondly aggressively look for another better job.  more

In California No Retroactive Pay Cuts: Your employer cannot legally reduce your salary for work you have already performed. The pay cut can only apply... to future hours worked. more

Where you located at like city ?

As of yesterday seek other employment and when you can get out leave. But before that I would demand a reason for the pay cut.
