That can be quite a change, ****. In Texas, employers generally have the right to change the terms of employment, including pay structure, as long as they notify employees in advance and it doesn't violate any existing contracts or discrimination laws. Do you have an employment contract that might affect this change?
I am not sure. The only things I signed were when I was hired 4 years ago. The company has sense changed LLC’s
It's important to check if you signed any document that might be considered an employment contract or agreement. Also, since the company changed LLCs, it's worth verifying if the new entity assumed the same contractual obligations. Have you received any written notice about the pay structure change?
I received written notice * hours before the change
