I work in a group home for adults with intellectual disabilities. The company I work for is shit, not gonna lie. I've been here since May 1st of 2020 and have carried a good portion on my back. We went without a house manager for months. So obviously, not the best workplace.
Well today we got an email from our house manager that angered all of us and caused 10 employees, myself included, to put in our two weeks. There is 12 workers in this house so staffing just took a major hit.
They're lowering our pay in an economy where the cost of everything going up. Our base pay was 15.95. Got told it was being lowered to 15. The higher ups told my boss to not even tell us.
My question comes when they say it will be applied to this coming check. So basically the last two weeks I've been working for my normal pay (15.95) and get told today that all those hours will be paid for 15 an hour. Is this even legal? I've looked at labor laws but I'm not sure if I'm reading it right.
