<prompt> Human: So Im a graduate student in a tech program. Ive been working for this employer in my field of study since I was an under grad as part time with quarterly contracts. In my last and current contracts I got significant raises and didnt think much of it its a big organisation and pays are handlded by HR so I thought the same thing applied to other employees who were doing the same job as me. So a little after I signed my current contract I happened upon another guy who is also a graduate and working for the same organisation. We talked and wages came up I dont normally discuss my wages but I slipped this time. He told me how much he was doing and I couldnt hide my facial reaction when I heard how less he was making. Of course he caught on and I had to tell him. He then went to HR to complain about the discrepancy and they told him it was a mistake and they would fix it. They then sent me an email asking me to sign two new contracts for periods I already had a contract for current and last quarters but with a lower wage. I dont know if they want me to reinburse them or just want to back themselves if another employee asks the same question? Im hoping to get a permanent job there my supervisor is currently saving a spot for me but if I fight this maybe they wont offer it?Edit: thanks for the counsels, I will stand my ground and see how it goes, maybe managementll just give shit to incompetent hr and it wont give me any more trouble. If not I still wont sign their stuff and complete my current contract while looking for another job in the meantime.  <response>: Retroactive contracts are a bad idea and there is no benefit to you signing it. I know you say want a permanent job there but not if these are the types of shenanigans going on...
