wages offered/actual wages paid
I work as part of a management team that is salaried, giving us the ability to hire/fire employees. We hired on several employees. The job was offered at a specific rate, the employee accepted. First pay check there was a letter in it from a higher management person stating that they were hired on at the wrong amount and then lisited a lower amount. It is above min. wage, but is this legal and is there something in writing I can get my hands on to fight this injustice?

If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.
That is an internal problem at the company in which you work. If the person is higer up in the management team, they apparently have the power to override your decisions. If you make too much of a fuss, they might be able to terminate you so you need to be careful.
