Well, I would get a lawyer to read the contract if your boss is really doing this.
They might have put in a clause that allows for decreases.
Either way, you should find out if they have a legitimate reason, since contract or not you can still sue them.

If the contract says you will be paid a certain amount, and there's nothing in the contract about decreases, then maybe not. If the "contract" is an offer letter stating a certain salary but not saying that your salary will always be at least that much, then it doesn't mean it can't later be lowered. So it depends on what you mean by "a contract in place". If you don't have a contract saying that the salary can never be lowered, then he legally can lower it and you would have no grounds for suing - your option would be to look for another job.

Tel your boss "you get what you pay for"
If he wants to lower your your salary then he should expect you not to assume the same work load or responsibility of your job. He now would have to hire someone to take over the increased responsibilities that
you now are not responsible for according
to your contract from two years ago, unless you have not full filled the contract in the
two year period according to the salary
agreed upon. He would have to prove a default in your work, given you written
warnings, or have shown by a written
quarterly assessment review of your job status that you have not met the requirements of your contract and signed both by you and your employer.
If he can't do either of these then you can bring him to a hearing at the labor board and through arbitration you can collect unemployment or he could be directed to place you in another position or even ordered to find you another job equivalent in pay and status by the commissioner. If he fails to follow the commissioners orders he could be fined up to any amount a day that the commissioner decides on until your employer finds you a job.
You have more rights than you think you do.
The problem is most people don't use them out of fear of getting fired. But under this situation the law is on your side.
Sincerely yours,
Fred M. Hunter

It really depend on the laws of the state, In California, it is legal for your wages to be lowered, Look what happened to almost every commercial Pilate in America after 911 when the airlines almost went bankrupt. Look at it this way, He could just fire you, most states these days have what is called a right to work law, and that basically says that you can quit without any noticem and an employer can fire you for no reason.

If how much you are to be paid is in your contract, and there is no clause to allow for decreases, then you can sue him for breach of contract. If I were you I would start looking for another job, as this is a clear indication that he no longer values your services. If there are other factors such as low profits, high turnover of employees, this should be explained to you.

Yes, sue your boss. See if anyone will ever hire you again.
