Rights in case of salary reduction: your questions answered

Questioner

When a boss demands that you sign a paper to give up 20% of your salary. And states that there must be a unanimous YES vote to continue for another 18 months and then see if you can continue. But when you have a one-year contract and are leaving at the end of December anyway. Is that demand justified? Do I have to submit that signed letter even if I don't want it and fill in No.

Your employer cannot force you to give up 20% of your salary. You may not be thanked if you fill in no, but if things are so bad that you have to give up 20% of your salary, you run the risk of becoming unemployed in December anyway. You must then take into account that you will receive a lower unemployment benefit because you have a lower salary.
