acting manager demotion?

[Radjenovic]

hello

My partner was employed last may as the Deputy manager of a bar/nightclub, she then transferd to another bar as acting general manager, as the current manager was leaving on maternity leave. when she was offerd the job accomodation was included as was a pay rise, in the past six months the buisiness has been on the up and up beating like for like pretty much every week, bringing in new promotions and building the business up. She then decided to move house with me and her employer said instead of paying the rent they would pay her the equivilant into her wage, this in effect after income tax ammounted to a 9k a year paycut (i personally believe her employer was not paying the tax on the rent.would she be liable for this?) last month she recieved an email that was written in a very angry way, the owner of the club came in on a sunday when my partner was on holiday and was notimpressed the staff let her down not doing there job, the area manager then sent my partner an email that was very angry and written allmost as a rant. the past few weeks everything has gone very well, even employing a new assistant manager to offer her a bit of support.

Today her area manager came in and told her they decided to employ a general manager and that she would no longer be manager as she was only acting,and revert back to deputy manager. they have also given her a paycut from 25k to 18k, she has not been given anything to sign any paperwork to ammend her current contract has the salary of 19500 plus 570 accomodation per month, this was an amended contract not a new contract. She started May 01 2008

 

can they force a pay cut on her, she is also worried as to the fact that the area manager is fond of saying "if theyve worked under a year you can just sack them" where does she stand legally when it comes to salary and accomodation if she is demoted? and does she have to sign an aggreement to reduce her salary?

 

thank you in advance for any help
