Depends upon whether you were notified of the wage change before or at the time it supposedly took effect. You can't have your pay cut without notice or retroactively. However, the employer can correct its mistake if it overpaid you after proper notice of the pay cut. Also, make sure the adjustment is to your gross pay, not your net after taxes and any other deductions.
