Hi ya’ll, hoping to get a little advice. My husband is the department head for a construction contractor. When he was hired they desperately needed someone and my husband was able to get a really good contract, better than what his position gets, because he’s really good at his job and that’s what they needed so the company wouldn’t fail. A few months ago the company hired a canvassing manager; he is the department head for canvassing and my husband is department head for telemarketing. My husband’s job is to confirm leads from canvassing and manage the telemarketing room. He only manages 2 guys and all 3 of them put up almost as many leads as the canvassing department which is like 15 guys. Long story short, the canvassing manager said my husband needs to get paid less and the commission that he gets should go to him because telemarketing is part of canvassing and he’s my husbands boss (not true, never been true, has never been that way in other companies). The owners are siding with him and want to cut my husbands commission down from 1% to .25% so if he was going to make $1000 he would make $250 and the way that he would continue to make $1000 is by hiring 6 more people so they can put up more leads. This is literally what they told him. Their solution is to pay my husband less and increase his workload for the same pay. He is really good at his job and some of the best statistics for his position, finding another job wouldn’t be hard but he is livid because he was there from the start and made a ton of money for the owners and they’re shafting him hard. He does have a contract. If they cut his pay does he have to wait to sue? Or can he do it right away? Would it be better to just leave them hanging? Any info is appreciated. We are in CA.
