Reduction in Salary for new hire
coz
6 Posts
We offered an individual a position in our organization and she accepted, (a very good candidate) however, she has asked our Company to lower her Annual Salary by $500-$1000. We have a set hire-in salary for each position in our organization. We do not have a problem adjusting her salary down but we want to violate any laws that may affect her rights or ours. We live in Missouri. She is asking for the reduction because she does not want to loose her child care and medical benefits for the children through Family Services.
Even though this is an odd request, we are willing to lower her salary but can we legally do that? Do we need a special document fo this?
Need help.

Just make sure you document EVERYTHING.
When we have had this occur the ee's were semi-retired and receiving social security and did not want to earn more than X per year. Rahter than reduce the amount of their pay, we reduced their schedule.
Good luck
