What can i do if my employer threatens to cut my pay if i dont take on extra resaponsibility at my job?

Answer 1

If there are other employees with your same job title or job resposibilities who are not required to perform the additional duties, AND they make the same pay as you, that's discrimination, and therefore illegal (though you'd need to figure out what basis the discrimination is occuring on).

If it's a small business, and you're the only one doing the job of your type, it's your job.

Small business owners have to take care of EVERYTHING in relation to their business. They usually expect their employees to have a similar attitude.

But with larger companies, your manager is almost always receiving ridiculous mandates from HIS managers, and given no resources with which to complete them.

In the employment world beyond fast food, you're expected to do pretty much anything they throw at you. As generic as it sounds, they want a "can do!" attitude, not a "might do!" attitude. If you want a job with minimal responsibilities, then you're going to get minimal pay.

Answer 2

You can:
-find a new job
-take a pay cut

The employer is legally entitled to change the parameters of a job, the job title, and the description of duties as required to meet business objectives. as long as the employer is not doing this in a discriminatory or retaliatory manner, there is no legal violation. (For example, if you filed a harassment claim and your employer demoted you immediately thereafter, that would likely be illegal.)

Answer 3

You have three choices

Take on the extra responsibilities
Take the pay cut
Find another job

The employer is within his rights to give you additional duties.

Answer 4

Quit and go elsewhere. Why do people take so much crap from their employer's? There are plenty of jobs out there.

Answer 5

Most state hire and fire at will; unless you are being discriminated against and can back that up, not much. Check with the labor relations board and ask them.

Answer 6

quit
empoyees always have the option to quit and find another job..and if they find they have a need to complain about their company, they should quit.
