What is the name of your state? Virginia
I have 5+ years with my current employer and recently signed a new employment contract upon entering the new fiscal year. The contract specifically quotes salary and commission wages to be paid monthly and was effective 10/01/04.
I was told yesterday that the management has decided that they feel that in hindsight, the wages are too high and that I make too much money under the agreement they made last month. They have decided to take retro-action and withhold wages due from my last 5 weeks of work under the existing contract.
Issues:
1) I was not aware of the changes being made and have not been offered an alternative contract as of yet, so I am still operating under the contract in question. Is the agreement valid until otherwise noted?
2) Can a contract be changed and enforced retro-actively to withhold wages promised in a signed document?
Thank you.
