I am a salaried - I have been employed with the company for 3 years. They are a family- owned but had a revenue of 60 million dollars. They are now in a finanical sitution - We were just recently informed that there would be a 15% pay cut which will be effective Friday May 27 - our pay period is 05/31/05 the process was already done and we were notify due to the fact that some of us have direct deposit - and some of us would have notice the change with our pay. We also found out that we might not be entitled to our vacation pay. Which is unfair since I have 8 vacation days. What our the policy and procedures for withdrawing salary without adequte notification. What's the protection for the employee. Plus we have two divisions and they were not affected.

Link to Fair Labor Standards Act

FLSA governs a dispute of this nature with pay. I was not able to find anything in FL law about how much notice has to be given for pay changes, just aht $6.15 is state minimum wage. I suggest contacting the FL Dept of Labor to seek guidance and to report this employer action. There may be assistance benefits available.
