Working Wise Dear Working Wise: Dear Working Wise: Our company is asking us to take a pay cut. Can my employer reduce my rate of pay when my job responsibilities haven’t changed and I haven’t had any disciplinary issues? Does it matter if ownership of the company has changed to a new owner? Are they still allowed to cut my pay? Signed, Feeling Cheated Dear Feeling Cheated: I wish I had better news for you, but yes, your employer can reduce your rate of pay as long as they continue to meet minimum wage requirements.

Do you have a work-related question? Send your questions to Working Wise, at charles.strachey@gov.ab.ca. Charles Strachey is a manager with Alberta Human Services. This column is provided for general information.
Your compensation is a matter that you, or in some cases your bargaining unit if you are in a union, negotiate with your employer. The only exception might be if you are working under a contract that guarantees you a certain wage. Alberta’s Employment Standards, however, do require employers to give you adequate notice of the pay change and comply with Alberta’s minimum wage laws. An employer who wants to reduce an employee's pay must notify the employee before the pay period begins. If you would like to learn more about protections for workers and their earnings, visit http://work.alberta.ca/es and read the Employment Standards fact sheets on Payment of Earnings and Minimum Wage. If you have any other questions, I encourage you to call the Employment Standards contact centre, toll-free, at 1-877-427-3731. Everyone wants to feel like they are being treated fairly at work. And knowledge is power. If you do not feel that you are being paid a competitive salary at your current job, do a little research. Check out the 2013 Alberta Wage and Salary Survey, which provides the average wages for more than 400 occupations, at www.alis.alberta.ca/Wageinfo. The WageInfo database even provides a salary range if you click on a specific occupation. You can also check out some of the online careers websites. Monster.ca, for example, has a free online salary wizard, which allows you to check salary ranges by occupation and geographic location. Check current job postings (http://alis.alberta.ca/jobs) or try talking to someone in a similar job or field. You can also try checking to see if your professional association conducts salary surveys or tracks the trends. Your research might help you build a compelling case for a raise or help you decide if it is time to look for a job elsewhere. If you would like help with your job search, click on the Job Seekers tab on the ALIS web site http://alis.alberta.ca or visit your nearest Alberta Works Centre. To find the Alberta Works Centre nearest you, click http://humanservices.alberta.ca/offices. Good luck!
