Is there any law or assistance available to an employee when their job is reevaluated but they are not grandfathered into the new pay level?
Example -
Billing is a pay level 5. Job is re-evaluated, requires a degree and is a pay level 9. None of the four current specialists have degrees. The company is indicating that they do not meet the requirements for the job, but are keeping them as Billing Specialists and requiring them to perform the same functions as the job description but at the pay level 5. New Billing Specilists have been hired at the grade level 9, and additional staff will be coming in later at the level 9.
No other positions around the level 9 require a degree, including supervisor and management positions.
Can they legally do this? Require all employees in the same job to do the same work for different pay b/c they have decided to re-evaluate a position in such a way that the current employess are not qualified to do their jobs? What laws would govern this type of situation?
