Stupid Bosses

Is it legal for your boss to start you at a wage, make you accountable for more and more work, then decrease your wage?

My boss started me at a certain wage which we never really agreed upon. He told me (within reason) to name my wage. He said its easier to pay employees a good solid wage and keep them around for a long time, than to give them poor wages and have a quick turn over.

Well, he started me at a certain wage which wasnt really want I asked for (a bit lower). Then we had a change in payroll and I noticed I was earning LESS than I normally made.

Months later, and I mean months……. I saw a $1 decrease per hour on my pay check and my boss did NOT notify me. This might be legal but its not ethical. I’m glad I actually paid attention to my pay stub. Im sorry but $1 per hour less is significant when you take into consideration gas prices and all.
