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.

Certainly, but no lower than the state minimum wage, if your job is subject to the min wage. [Not all jobs are.]

Do the wage and tips have to equal minimum wage?

This differs from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.In the United States, federally, the wage and tips have to equal at least minimum wage. Your employer HAS to pay you the difference of your tips from minimum wage, if you didn't end up meeting minimum wage.Example: If minimum wage is $8.00 and after that hour, you only received $6 in tips, then your employer owes you $2.00 for that hour. This can also be figured per shift totals. Exa: $8.00/hr per 8 Hour shift = $64/shift. If you only received $50 in tips that whole shift, then your employer owes you $14 for that shift.In Ontario, Canada, tips do not count towards regular wages. Your employer must pay you at least minimum wage beforetips.
