Assuming you've been paid at least minimum wage and what
you're referring to is a reduction in wages from your
regular salary for a period of time, then that's something
you'll need to discuss with a local attorney. Whether the
company is legally obligated to pay you the wages you feel
are due you depends entirely on whether anything that was
said to you or documented constitutes a contract.
