I was not told that my pay would be decreased prior to stepping down from a previous roll until after 2 days of the new roll.

Assuming you are an at will employee, your employer can reduce your pay on a prospective basis only, which means the pay reduction can only take effect after you are given oral or written notice.

No. Employers must indemnify employees for business expenses and accidental losses. Employees can only be charged for intentional losses caused by things like theft.
I am sorry you have had to deal with this. Unfortunately, your post does not clearly tell us whether this is an employee of a company you were a customer of, or if this was a co-worker. The answer would be slightly different for each.

For instance, the vacation policy cannot treat people of different protected characteristics differently because of that... Read more »
