QUESTION
Is it legal for my employer to have me take a pay-cut for the location difference?
Asked on Mar 21st, 2014 on Labor and Employment - Wisconsin
More details to this question:
I semi-recently got a transfer from one store to another store at my job. The transfer was requested by me because it was closer to my residence. I was told I would have to take a pay-cut just because of the location difference? Is this allowed?

Talk to your state's department of labor. However, if you transferred to a job with a lower pay grade, yes, your employer can do that.
