Hi, I'd like to get some legal advice about a workplace issue13:32

Hello, what's going on?13:32 read

HR called me in today. They said there's a restructuring and they want to reassign me to a different department with a pay cut13:32

Honestly I think they just want to push me out13:32

Take a breath. Let me understand the details first. How long have you been there?13:32 read

Three years13:32

What kind of contract do you have? Does it specify your role and salary?13:32 read

Permanent contract. It says "Product Manager, monthly salary 15,000"13:32

OK. Was this a verbal or written notice from HR?13:32 read

Verbal for now. They said they'll send a formal reassignment letter next week13:32

What role are they moving you to and how much is the cut?13:32 read

Admin position, salary dropping to 10,00013:32

Product manager to admin with a third of your pay cut — that's very hard to justify as reasonable13:32 read

Keep a few things in mind. First, do not resign voluntarily. No matter what HR implies, don't quit on your own13:32 read

Second, when you get the letter next week, don't sign agreeing to it. You can write "Received, but I do not consent to the change of position and salary"13:32 read

Got it. How should I respond to HR? I didn't say anything during today's meeting13:32

Good that you stayed quiet. You can reply in writing — email or work chat — just say "I have received the notice and do not agree to changes in my employment terms regarding position and compensation"13:32 read

Keep it calm and professional. No emotion, but no ambiguity either13:32 read

What if HR keeps pushing? Today they hinted that not complying means "insubordination"13:32

Don't worry about that. Changing employment terms requires mutual agreement. A unilateral demotion with pay cut is illegal13:32 read

If they fire you for "insubordination," that's wrongful termination — which means higher compensation for you13:32 read

Makes sense. One more thing — HR said if I don't accept the transfer I should "think it over." Is that a threat?13:32

It's a pressure tactic, but verbal comments are hard to use as evidence13:32 read

That's why from now on, try to keep all communication with HR and management in writing13:32 read

If you have to meet face to face, you can record it on your phone. Recording conversations you're part of is legally admissible13:32 read

Is recording really OK? Won't that cause issues?13:32

Recording your own conversations doesn't violate privacy laws. It's valid evidence in labor arbitration13:32 read

Alright. What else should I save?13:32

Screenshot your recent pay stubs, attendance records, and social security contribution records13:32 read

Also save any work-related chats with your manager and colleagues13:32 read

And the employee handbook or company policies — grab a copy if you can. A photo or PDF works13:32 read

I signed one when I joined but they never gave me a copy13:32

You can ask HR for one. Just say you'd like to "review the company policies." Don't tip them off13:32 read

Smart, I'll do that13:32

Also make sure you strictly follow all company policies — attendance, dress code, procedures, everything. If they stop assigning work, document that daily13:32 read

Some companies deliberately set traps like no work assignments, then fire you for "policy violations." Stay vigilant13:32 read

That's really underhanded. So my core strategy is: don't agree to the transfer, follow company rules, and gather evidence?13:32

Exactly. Three rules: don't sign, follow the rules, document everything13:32 read

If negotiation fails, file for labor arbitration. It's free, and your odds of winning are very high13:32 read

OK, I feel much more confident now. Thank you!13:32

Reach out anytime if anything new comes up13:32 read
