Can my employer change my rate of pay?

When I first hired I was given paperwork saying my company would pay be $40,000 per year. After my sixth month review (Note I was hired in Jan., and my 6 month review was done in Oct), they said they had to change my pay scale to $26,500. Can they do that?

Yes, unless you have a contract, they can do that but the reduction can only apply to future work. They cannot make it retroactive.
