Pay decreased without notification

[whatever2014]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Colorado

I work as a weekend relief chef for several years now and have received $1 more per hour for this position and a lower rate of pay for general deli work during the week. The company has decided that my position as a chef no longer requires certification so they lowered my pay to the general deli rate. I was not notified of this change. They also put my chef position up for grabs to anyone that has seniority over me since the position no longer requires certification. Do I have any recourse?

With regards to the wage change, maybe. You can see if the state DOL thinks you are due the higher wage until notification. FYI - you were notified when you received your first paycheck at the new wage, so at most you would be due the difference up until that date.

With regards to their posting your position, unless you are working under a legally binding and enforceable contract or CBA that expressly says they cannot do that, they can.
