QUESTION

Offer Letter vs Contract

Asked on Aug 10th, 2016 on Labor and Employment - New York
More details to this question:
Two years ago, I started an executive position whereby I was provided an offer letter to sign. Included in the offer letter is an allocated clothing allowance and benefits (medical, dental, etc) that I would receive. It states in the letter that "This offer is in no way a contract". However, a couple of things have happened: - I have not received my allocated clothing allowance for a year. My employer has changed the allotment as communicated per HR. Myself and my co-worker separately inquired with HR that the allotment was different from our offer letters and were informed that was what our boss decided. So we had no recourse after. - Last year, my employer stopped paying the corporate dental bill for at least two months. However, we still had deductions taken out of our check. I had to speak to our HR professional due to a bill that I received that was not covered per lack of benefits. She requested that they reimburse for the bill but there were no additional updates

If you signed something, that will govern.  If it is not a contract, what is it?  I will depend on the whole document.
