<prompt> Human: My brother signed on at Lolmart, and his initial pay was 12.20hr. Without notice they came to him a few weeks later and told him they had adjusted his pay down to 9.50. They didnt give him a reason for this adjustment.This is problematic because he quit his second jon paying 10hr because he had this 12hr job. Now they are forcing him to take a paycut for no reason.What can be done in a situation like this?Edit: Formating. Also: I guess this practice is entirely legal. It just seems fucked up to me. He cant quit, as he has a family to feed and bills to pay. We will look into contacting the department of labor to see about recourse. We will also look here for more suggestions! Thanks, guys!  <response>: I dont know what your states policies are concerning unemployment, but some states allow you to claim unemployment in the more common situation where an employee is not fired but their hours are cut. In that situation the employee receives unemployment assistance to make up the difference between the new cut hours and the original hours. The same might apply for a cut in pay as well. If your state does allow this and he is otherwise eligible, then Im guessing he would continue working at 9.50 an hour and receive 2.70 an hour from unemployment.
