Tractor Texas
IN THE STATE OF TEXAS can an employer decrease and employees pay due to performance reasons?
a mechanic at a tractor & farm equipment dealership was being paid 13.00/hr when he was notified that his pay was going to be decreased to 11.00/hr when he asked why his employers told him because the company had received several customer complaints about the quality of his work and his performance, also the company has lost a major account and he was told it was due to his performance and work ethic.
IN THE STATE OF TEXAS is it legal for an employer to lower an employees pay with notice and reason?
please respond only if you can back up your answer with a legal statement and also information on where i could find that legal statement would be helpful too... thanks!
It is totally legal for a company to choose the pay rate of an employee. Unless you have a legally binding contract that says otherwise that you and your employer signed guaranteeing $13.00/hr, it is legal to reduce a person's pay. Just look at the news you will see people are getting pay cuts all around the country. Texas is an "at-will" state which means it has a lot of leeway in what it can and cannot do. You're not going to find a specific law that states a company can reduce the pay because that law does not exist. As someone said, the law prohibits what a person can do, not what they can do.
