Although the economy is still struggling in California and throughout the country, there is another small sign that the job market may be improving just a tad… A new survey finds that in May, employers were more likely to have instituted salary cuts or freezes than to have eliminated staff. This is good news for you, the California employee! Don’t allow your employer fire you or let you go for an improper or unjustified reason — especially if it includes discrimination. If your job is at risk, talk to your employer about perhaps taking a temporary pay cut instead of losing your job completely.

While pay cuts aren’t the best of options, at least you still have a job. And you are not alone in taking a pay cut — the survey shows that slightly more than 52 percent businesses surveyed said they’d had pay cuts or freezes, compared to 43 percent who said they’d had layoffs. Other cost-cutting measures included cutting travel, reducing employee hours, reducing or eliminating tuition reimbursement, and imposing forced vacations or temporary layoffs.
