The hourly rate in New Mexico is higher than Illinois, for the same company due to the lower minimum wage in Illinois. After transfering stores, my hourly rate in the system was the same as the New Mexico rate, which my store manager was aware of. So I was being paid $9.50 an hour, opposed to $7.80 an hour that Illinois workers are at.
After corporate did an audit 6 months after I had been working at the new location in Illinois, they docked my pay for overpaying me for the time I spent in Illinois at the New Mexico rate.
Is this legal? If not, please provide a legal explanation. Emphasis on Illinois state law, if its not a federal one.
