I have a signed agreement that I would be paid $55k per year and according to my pay checks I have been getting paid at the rate of $50k per year. I am a 1099 employee. What can I do?
Depending on how your agreement is written, it might still be possible for the employer to change your salary going forward. He must tell you he is doing this BEFORE he puts the new rate into effect. Technically, you can agree to the new rate by continuing to work there at the new rate, provided you knew of the new rate. The wording of your agreement, however, may make this a little more complicated for the employer to change the rate.
You should speak to an attorney who practices employment law as soon as possible to review your agreement and give you the appropriate advice after learning more about your case
