Is it permissible for an employer to lower the worker's pay scale without his consent? What procedures should be followed in case the worker gives his consent?
No, the worker’s written approval to this effect must be obtained. If the two parties have agreed on lowering the worker’s pay, the employer must terminate the contract and settle the workers all dues. A new labour contract should be concluded, subject to the consent of both parties. In case of a pay raise, however, this procedure will not be required.
