As you asked ,I would think it is legal because they dont have a vacancy for a senior on nights.
They cant pay you for something your not doing so you would be on an officers pay.
If you were working as an officer and getting paid seniors wages,it wouldnt go down well with your fellow employees would it.

Let's get off this percentage thing and talk about the money being paid in taxes. First, there are almost 50% of the people in the US that do not pay taxes and worse there are a number that receive a tax refund even thought they haven't paid into the tax system. The wealthiest Americans already pay about 80% of the taxes in the country. Why should they pay any more whether they can afford it or not. If they choose to contribute to charities, invest in other businesses, buy things, that money is not controlled by the government and does good for all of us, as it goes into the economy. The tax code provides for a lower tax rate for dividends, tax free bonds, capital gains, etc., these apply to all of us not just the rich. If you've owned a house or a stock, you know about it. Secondly, any business that earns money has the right to refurbish equipment, purchase new tools and equipment and apply those expenses to the money the business earns, the net result could be a loss to the business. The business is still open and has employees that are paid for their labor. The business owners take the risk of having a business succeed or fail. An employee only has an interest, other than the job the business provides, if they have an ownership interest (stock) The majority owner still controls the business, not the employee. The employee is free to leave at any time. I'm tired of hearing about income inequality, virtually every country in the world has income inequality, the difference is in the US you have a choice and a chance to do better, elsewhere, you'll just be poor with no empathy for your position or your discussion. Get over it people and go do something that will make you a millionaire and quit bitching because it's not being handed to you.

Are you union? If so, check with rep.? This is something to find out before taking a position. There is less work for prison officer at night, besides staying awake, hence, the lesser salary.

Employment laws vary from state to state, you would need to ask an attorney familiar with the law in your state to be sure. However, based on you saying that you voluntarily went from a "senior" position to a "non-senior" position for whatever reason, it sounds like they probably can.

Yes, if your in a 'lower' position - you can only expect to get the pay for that position. It's like a manager at Tescos asking to work night shift and the only position they have is a shelf stacker. He would get the salary for the position he's doing.

Probably. They aren't firing you - they are giving you the shift that you have asked for, but it sounds like your duties on the night shift fall into a different category than your day shift duties and therefore you will have to take a cut in pay to go onto nights. Why would they pay you the same amount of money if you have less duties/responsibilities?

It sounds as though they know what they are doing and you have to decide if you want the nights as an underling or the day job as a senior. They cannot invent a job and seem to be doing what they can to help you.

Depends on 1. your contract of employment and 2. custom and practice. It could be unlawful deduction of wages. Best to contact either an employment adviser at your local CAB or a specialist employment solicitor. If unlawful deduction of wages leads to you quitting your job that could be unlawful constructive dismissal.

wow, a S PO with issues... go see the welfare... and get behind your door...
ex convicted armed robber smiling smugly... do what everyone else does, get another job... back in the 80's they did work outside their shift patterns... taxi driving, local delivery drivers etc
yes, i know its against govt policy..and? like they care about you, or your circumstances. your just a number on a payroll in an organisation which isnt run by HMP POA, its run by accountants, and consequently prison has become a security nightmare...
