A little backstory – I work for a school district as a school secretary. We are paid based on lanes and steps. I have always been paid on Lane 4 – (11 years) Steps are based on longevity. Last year the district did away with Lane 1 to raise the base pay of employees being paid on Lane 1. Unfortunately, when they did this, it ended up bumping the school secretaries down a lane. Now my contract which in the past has always been at Lane 4 is at Lane 3. I am irked to say the least and have not yet signed it. Am I being unreasonable, and is there any legal recourse for not signing?
