can a boss take back an hourly raise for a promotion but then 3 months later am stepping down? live in cali...

Question

I live in california and work as a manager but I have decided to step down and be a regular employee.. they told me that if i step down i have to go back to regular pay, even though i am not salary but paid hourly. Does anyone know if this is legal in california?

Answer 1

Yes, this is legal. You are demoting yourself. If they were placing you somewhere else, you would get the same rate of pay as you are currently paid.

Answer 2

Yes, I think so. But your raise should not be a good reason to stay as a manager if you can't handle the pressure at job.

Answer 3

it is in illinois
