Thanks 

Two paths I have to walk on one of them in this situation, either I have to visit labor office and they can keep my rights off, or I have to leave this company forever

Usually all employers enter into a contract with their employees - all clauses and terms are detailed in this contract. 

If there is any lapse on the part of the employer in honouring the contract, the employee has to take up the matter with the HR and escalate the same through the HR to the concerned Seniors

If the employee feels  there is injustice, its best to discuss and try to reach a fair compromise, failing which, to safeguard his own interests, its better to terminate his services with the employer. 

There could be other paths such as take up the matter with the labour court and also the embassy concerned, but all this leaves a negative effect and the experience may not give the desired results.

If you have a problem at work find out about the different ways, both informal and formal, that you could try to sort things out. Before taking action try to work out what the problem is and make sure it isn't a simple mistake or understanding.

If you have tried to sort the problem informally, you should seek advice before taking matters further. The Labour Relations Agency (LRA) offers pre-claim conciliation and free, confidential and impartial advice on all employment issues.

My friends Omar Saad & Shukri Mim, have explained well. Further to their comments, I suggest try to resolve it personally and same time look around other opportunity. Secondly if you could not settle it at own then go to proper legal platform to get the relief.

As far as my concern as an employee my dedication and passion at my work with 100% there is no choice to breach my contract unless the company have some financial issues. In this case if they breach my contract by reducing, if it’s acceptable I will continue else perform as stated in the contract in a professional way.

I'm that kind of people who always deal with problems in a calm and friendly way; additionally I always open amicable channels in a positive attitude to solve disputes.

Due to whatever the circumstances will be...i would regret about the loss for the company. I would plead and urge my employer to give me a chance to make it all good again, if not i have to accept my employers decision.Then i would apply and start looking for a new Job.
