I am a restaurant manager for a fast food restaurant here in Wisconsin. I have to put in at least 45 hours or they will dock my salary. That usually isn't a problem.

The issue is this: when my home office receives a complaint, the bosses that be have decided that they will take away some of the manager's salary. Their belief is that if they are losing customers and money, so should the store managers. I was written up last week, after I had already talked to a customer about her complaint (she later told my district manager it wasn't satisfied enough) and he has decreased my salary by $1000. Any further complaints about my store or my staff, and it will be cut more. My question is, is this legal?

I have contacted two attorneys about this (waiting on call backs)and have requested in writing copies of all information in my personnel file. I also sent an email to the State about this and they said it is if I am notified prior to them actually doing it. Something does not seem right here.

Thoughts, or helpful links? Thanks.
