Legal Question in Business Law in Georgia

individual contractor rights

My husband is an individual contractor within a gym. Everyone is being fired friday. They must be rehired before they are allowed to train anyone Monday. My husband was Personal Training Director, two months later they took that from him. Now he is being fired for no reason. They want to change what percentage everyone makes. He is a subcontactor and all contracts are prepared by him and signed by him, not the gym. What can he do? Does he have any legal leg to stand on or can the gym do what they want? Can they reduce his pay?

Re: individual contractor rights

You mention a contract, and I thought you might mention the terms in the second try. Since you did not, read the contract to see what it says about the gym being required to use his services for a certain time period, at a certain rate. Otherwise, you provide no facts whatsoever to indicate the gm can't do what they are doing (just as many businesses are having to do).
