Add Comment Question: If a employer notifies a employee that they wish to cut their wages what rights does the employee have in this matter Answer: The pay cut would be illegal and give the employee grounds for a constructive dismissal and severance pay. I recommend you contact our firm right away should the employer proceed with the reduction in wages.
