If you are a sales manager and going to an AST position can they reduce your pay?

You will not keep your manager pay.
OK, before anyone starts the BS that this can happen. Some software basics. Payroll (amount salary or hourly) is entered into a payroll system in correlation with a job grade (number). You have limits both minim and maximum.
You could not convert a salary position into an AST position as the system wouldn't take it. You would be well over the maximum for the grade. There are times (few and far between) where the red star may pay over the or near the max on a job grade. The requires several authorizations.
But a Salary to AST top far apart. If this was possible you would have a lot more people doing this and end up with a overpaid selling floor.
Nope Doesn't happen
I know someone that step down as sales manager and went to a sales position. They did not touch the pay. They convert the salary from manager pay which is every 2 weeks . To a hourly pay . This person made more money every week as sales person than a manager
I know this as a true statement as well. I know someone who was a sales manager at another location, it was a mutual decision between the sales manager and the person to step down. Person was given a BOH role at another store (The one Im at) and they took the salary they were making and turned it into hourly. Said person is WAY over the max of the role. This person now makes more as a general BOH colleague with no management responsibilities than he did as a sales manager.
You will not keep your current pay scale. There is no conversion. That statement is total BS. The pay would be mid pay range for an AST. The real question is why do this? You won't be able to if you have corrective action on your record.

yes its a new position but if you kept old pay you be a target for cuts
AST is barely above minimum wage
