Well as it turns out the promotion was the only thing I was hanging around for. As I'm still on one of the lowest paid sites in the industry even if I'd kept my payrise, I have no problem with getting a new job. There's alotof work out there for people with a few years experience. So I'm definitely going to fight it. If I lose my job I'll just end up at another site which pays better so either way I win.

And also I think the main reason they are doing it is because a few other people who should be getting more than I was put up to found out and complained and it's easier to put one persona pay down than 3 peoples pay up. There's not really a problem wiith money for them as they made 16 million profit last year and have 40 million in the bank. And the gold price is just going up.

how did people find out? what you get paid is not for anyone else's eyes/ears except you, and you're boss, or payroll manager...

Don't look at what profits they have made or how much cash they have in the bank. That is the business owner's information and has no direct link to your pay.

Simple thing is you get a contract, agree to the terms and sign. If your employer wants to change it, they will essentially be terminating the existing contract and starting a new one for you to agree to. If you don't like the new contract, don't sign and move on.

(P.S. Yes I know there are lots of other ways to do it, this is just my simple way of explaining it)

As an employer that is one of the most annoying and bullshit attitudes ever. Yes I have a nice house and yes the business makes money and yes I have cash in the bank. However if it all turns to shit I lose everything. Would you then put your hand in your pocket to help me out if times were not so good?

We have about 150 employees and we have to structure their wages under the assumption that everyone knows what everyone else earns. People just cant keep shit to themselves. Everyone is on a level and once on that level they can choose between casual / permanent depending on whether they want the extra 20% cash that casual brings with it.

At the end of the day no job should be a death sentence. If you are not happy / feel unjustly done by vote with your feet. You being unhappy in a job is not good for anyone. It is not good for you because you not happy and it is not good for the company because human nature says you are gonig to whinge to your fellow employees and bring them down to.

True - sat in on a client meeting Friday where the employee wanted 50% of profit after break even as a bonus.

Seriously, if the business turns to shit who loses their house, car and gets to be bankrupt for 3 years - the employee gets another job.

The owner takes the risk and the reward, the employee takes a salary.

My employees take 3 payslips to the bank and get a loan, I cant do that.

If employers were to understand the amount of risk involved in any business/developments, that would put them into perspective.

Perhaps you should be grateful that you didn't lose your job

Why should I be grateful I didn't lose my job? If the pay cut stays as it is im gonna leave anyway. There's so much work out there for people who can be bothered to find it. I hate people who whinge about losing they're jobs. Either way now I've lost the pay rise my car is gonna be up for sale again. You shouldn't be able to give someone a piece of paper telling them how much they are getting paid have both people sign it and pay you at that rate for month, only to say sorry other people are upset about your pay level so were taking the rise off you.
