Salary changes come with a new contract IME (unless the changes are in the bonus compensation). You can't force someone to sign a new contract (you can probably make them a sign or leave offer, but you can't make them sign) so you can't lower someone's base salary.
- KptMarchewa 5y agoCan't you just fire an employee for whatever reason? Any change in contract is then equivalent to fire and hire.
- Scarblac 5y agoYeah OK, I hadn't considered that. Where I live (in the Netherlands) that would never fly.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoThere is no need to have a contract. Many small businesses just hire people and give them a piece of paper saying what they will get or orally tell them how much they will get. In the event there is a contract, unless the contract specifies compensation for terminating employment, the employer can always just terminate the employee for the reason of “this employee is no longer worth $x per hour/year to us”. Barring any other union agreements of course.
