As long as the pay itself does not dip down below the state's minimum wage then yes it can be dropped. There are no laws requiring certain pay for certain jobs. Jobs that are less likely to get such cuts are ones that are in demand and are a form of skilled labor. However they are not immune.
no, "base pay" is a set amount prescribed by the employer.
It depends on the employee, the employer, the industry, and the type of position.
As long as the employer properly applies federal wage rules to deciding whether you are overtime eligible, it can change you from salaried to hourly. The employer can reduce your pay rate, but you need not stay. Quit without giving notice.
Yes he can, and you are of course free to quit if he does.
If you mean can an employer compel an hourly employee to work without pay, then no, never. Hourly employees must be paid for all hours worked.
No, an employer does not have to pay employees for the time they spend tending to a parent's needs. The employees parents are not the responsibility of the employer.
This depends. In general, an employer can decrease your rate of hourly pay if you are an at-will employee. However, in many states, the employer is required to first give you notice of the pay decrease. Once you are notified, the employer can pay you at the lower rate. In some states, this notice must be in writing.Your employer cannot typically reduce your hourly wage for time you have already worked.Under no circumstances can your employer reduce your wages so that they are below either the state or federal minimum wage.
If you're an hourly employee, you're getting paid for your time. Typically at jobs where you "clock in" yes, the employer is supposed to pay you.
The numerical value will vary according to many factors: individual, job, location, employer are some.
They definitely cannot withhold pay if you are an hourly employee. They must pay you for time you have worked even if they don't like your work. Their only option for "punishment," as it were, is to fire you...
The hourly rate for a bookkeeper will depend on the employer and the experience of the bookkeeper. A smaller firm might pay only a little above minimum wage for an entry level bookkeeper. A larger firm might pay $12 an hour or more to an experienced bookkeeper.
No Way! What kind of scam... Never mind. What I really mean is I am a developer. From my perspective unless you offered to pay them before hand I would say no. Usually if there is an incentive it is that the employer may offer to pay for the class not pay them hourly while taking it. What is next getting paid for dressing in the morning because the employer is the one who prefers dressed employees? Maybe one should get paid for eating lunch because the employer doesn't want the employee to die of starvation. Developing ones own skills is far more important to the employee than the employer, so why should the employer pay?
